So... in the picture, I have 2 meads started only a day apart using some yeast nutrients.

Traditional mead, (just honey water and yest) on the left, and a melomel on the right.

Melomel was made by mixing a traditional must with a with enough freshly juiced (mostly) peaches and some plumbs for the flavor profile.

What makes Melomels clear so much faster than traditional mead? This has been true of 100% juice mixed with honey as well, like grape or apple juice.

I... are confus-ed.

My understanding is that the tannins help. But I have had clearing accelerate after adding acid blend as well, so who knows?
