Which is best to clear orange juice wine? bentonite or pectin enzyme. I have only the two.

Negros Oriental here.

Okay, thank you for the advise.

Don't know what else to use! Campden tablets are sulfur based but can't get hold of any over here. Is K-sorbate safe to use, and how much for 4 liters of OJ?

Update on my OJ wine, I racked into another container and took a reading...1.030. The SG 1.130. Had a taste and it was sweet, it's slowly fermenting so I'll give it another week then stabilize before I bottle I have only got Sodium Metabisulfite (sp) to stabilize! Hope that won't ruin the wine...

Thank you

Thank you.

Thank you

Thank you for the welcome. Homebrewing is very difficult over here as getting equipment and hops and malt. So I stick to making wine.

Thank you

Thanks Bocochoco, It's day 5 now and fermenting. I don't want it to ferment out that much if it's going to spoil but I don't want a over sweet wine too. Maybe I should rack into a secondary vessel sometime then stop the ferment at 1.010! and have a sweet dessert wine.

Yes, I was wondering about that too. It's fermenting since last night when I gave it a shake, it's bubbling up inside the vessel.

I got it going again, I gave it a good shake to start it. Must have been lacking oxygen. Yesterday I read it at 1.075. SG was 1.130. I will take another reading tomorrow.

No preservatives or stabilizers, I gave it a good shake to get some oxygen in the OJ and it started fermenting again.

Yeast I used. Red Star Premier Blanc Wine Yeast. what to use as a buffer?

Hi, I'm making store bought orange juice but the fermenting has stopped after 2 days and was slow to start. Maybe the room temperature is too high but can't help that where I live 28 c. I used red star champagne yeast (hydrated) Would it help if I pitched in some dry red star yeast? I gave the...
