1. Gelatin. One of the simplest and most effective methods, suitable for any wine and juice (especially white grape, apple, pear and plum). Clarification of wine with gelatin is performed using the following technology: 1. Take 10-15 g of gelatin per 100 liters of wine. 2. Dissolve the swollen gelatin in warm water, add to the container with wine and mix well. 3. Leave the wine alone from 1 day to 3 weeks until all the turbidity collects into flakes and precipitates. 2. Egg white. Effective for clarifying all homemade wines, especially useful for red (grape, cherry, plum). To clarify 100 liters of the drink, it is enough to separate 2-3 chicken whites from the yolks, add a little water and beat into a foam. Then mix the beaten whites with a small amount of wine and pour into the container where the main part of the wine is. You will see the result in 18-25 days. 3. Bentonite (white clay). It has absorbent properties and is perfect for fining grape wines. It is sold as a fine-grained powder. To purify 1 liter of wine, you will need 3 grams of bentonite (a tablespoon contains 20 grams). Technology: 1. Pour cold water over dry white clay in a ratio of 1:10 (one part bentonite to ten parts water) and leave for 10-12 hours. For example, to purify 20 liters of wine, you will need 60 grams of white clay and 600 ml of water. 2. The clay will turn into lime. Before clarification, add water to the bentonite so that the mixture becomes liquid, then pour it into the wine in a thin stream. 3. Drain the wine from the sediment after 5-7 days. Bentonite 4. Milk. A universal method. To clean, simply add 1 teaspoon of skimmed cow's milk to 1 liter of wine, mix thoroughly and leave to stand for 3-4 days at room temperature. 5. Heat treatment. Cork glass bottles of wine tightly to prevent the alcohol from evaporating when heated. Place the bottles in a suitable container and fill them with cold water up to the neck. Slowly heat the water to 50°C and remove the container from the heat without removing the bottles. Wait until the water cools. The procedure can be repeated 2-3 times. After the last heating, let the wine stand for 5-6 days and drain from the sediment. The method is used to clean any homemade wines. 6. Clarifying wine with cold. Table wines are cooled (outdoors or in the refrigerator) to -2°C, non-fortified wines to -5°C. Under the influence of low temperatures, particles of must and yeast sink to the bottom. After this, the wine is quickly drained from the sediment and filtered before it warms up. 7. Activated carbon. It is recommended to use this method only in extreme cases, when the wine has an unpleasant odor, indicating the presence of fusel oils. Pharmaceutical activated carbon is ineffective; wood carbon is needed. Grind the carbon to a powder state and add it to the container with wine at the rate of 3-4 g of carbon per 10 liters of drink, mix well. Infuse for 3-4 days, shaking every day. Filter through filter paper. 8. Tannin (powder from the heart of oak). Suitable for cleaning wines with a high sugar content (apple and pear from sweet varieties) and without astringency in taste. Tannin can be purchased at the pharmacy. Tannin To clarify wine, dilute 10 grams of tannin in 2 liters of distilled water, let the solution settle and filter it through filter paper. Then add 6 teaspoons of tannin per 1 liter of wine, stir, leave for 7-10 days, then drain from the sediment. Regardless of the chosen method, after using it, I recommend letting the wine sit for another 25-40 days, and only then pouring it into bottles. The fact is that the smallest particles that are not visible to the eye still remain in the wine, they will settle a little later. Mesh out. Is it necessary or not??? • Mesh out.
