I've got a blackberry melomel that I started back in February, it's been in the secondary now since May... I was hoping by now it would have cleared out much better, but you can see there's still quite a haze hovering around the bottom 1/4 of the carboy...
I added the appropriate amount of pectic enzyme before fermentation, so I think this is still just the residual solids that got sucked up from the primary at racking...
Any tips for clarifying? Being that it's been sitting in secondary for 3 months, I doubt another racking is going to do much, unless I just rack off everything except that bottom portion, which leaves me with only about 3/4 of a gallon, and I don't want to lose that much mead.
Would cold crashing do me any good? (Still don't fully understand that process, haven't done it yet with anything) or should I just look at using something like Super-Kleer to try to solidify this hazy mass?
