New Article

I’ve written a new article on bentonite, a fining agent for wine. I’d like to write a series of articles on a variety of fining agents, how to use them, when to use them, how much, etc. This one hopefully will be a first in a series.

You can read it here if you’re interested.

  • Great article. I always add the bentonite at the end of the winemaking process, only because the instructions for the very first wine kit I made said to do it that way, and the wine turned out great. So I have been afraid to add it in the beginning, even though I have heard that may be a better way. And now I know the reasoning. I sort of felt that maybe the yeast might be affected negatively by adding the bentonite early. But I will have to try it that way. I’ve tried different fining agents, but, in my opinion, bentonite seems to do the best job. Looking forward to more articles. -Finger Lakes Weekend Wino

    Hi there, FLW Wino! Thanks very much for your comments and encouragement regarding some new articles. I’ve got a few planned, when I get some time!

    The topic of fining agents is a very interesting topic, and the more I explore it, the more I am learning.

    I’ll be keeping an eye on your blog as well – love to visit the Finger Lakes region sometime myself. My other hobby is fly fishing :)

  • Some time before, I really needed to buy a good car for my firm but I didn’t have enough cash and couldn’t purchase something. Thank heaven my friend adviced to take the loans at reliable creditors. Hence, I did so and was happy with my consolidation loan.
