Pectic haze.

Can pectic haze be cured. I fermented out 10 gal of chilian juice and added super clear and it's still cloudy after a few weeks. Hb store asked if pectic enzyme was used and it wasn't. Can it be added now. Thanks.

I'm not too sure about this but i don't think pectic enzyme will help you out too much at this point. usually, it's put in when you make your must to extract and break down the fruit to get better flavor when fermenting. 10 gallons is alot of wine and i would imagine will take longer to clear than just a 5 gal carboy. I've never brewed more than 1 gallon at a time. Usually putting the wine somewhere cooler will help with clearing.

Thanks for input. It is in basement so it is cool. Went ahead and added some pectin enzyme. Keep you posted if it helps. Thanks.
