Hey folks,
I made my peach mead, again like I do every year for the past three years. It’s the only wine/mead I have made. This time it’s me out cloudy. The first time no clouds. The second time cloudy and I back sweetened it with a little cane sugar and campden tablet and potassium Sorbate. And it cleared up. This time I did the same thing but it’s still cloudy. It’s a one gallon recipe. I heat 1 quart of honey from my hives and 1 quart of spring water, pitch my yeast to a jug of both and add water for a gallon. 30 days I rack into a pail with peaches. 30 days I rack into a jug. 30 days I rack again. The yeast is usually done by now so I back sweeten with cane sugar cuz it’s usually not sweet enough for the wife. But I crush one campden tablet in a little spring water with the potassium. 30 days later time to rack but now it’s cloudy still. AND it had floaty things. So I racked it into another jug through a coffee filter and added 3 drops of milk (somebody told me to do that. What could 3 drops hurt?) I didn’t see any particles in the filter but it’s still cloudy. Should I just wait or what should I do? I’ll try to add a pic of last year’s bottle and this.
Thanks for the help!
