Re: Plum Wine
no kidding, is it ok to accept it as a little cloudy ? will it affect taste/alcoholic content etc ?

Re: Plum Wine
Plum wine is notorious for this. It WILL clear - either immediately or suddenly after waiting an age. Pectic enzyme at the start helps a lot, but doesn't guarantee a clear wine. Try getting it really cold (but not freezing) - that sometimes does the trick.
The good news is that the haze doesn't affect flavour or anything else, nor is it harmful in any way.

Re: Plum Wine
Sorry but I've had no problems with it clearing at all, but I froze the lums before I got round to using them , could this help at all or just coincidence?

Re: Plum Wine
Not so long ago, I said the same on here about my peach wine. The very next batch was as hazy as all Hell.becks77 wrote:Sorry but I've had no problems with it clearing at all, but I froze the lums before I got round to using them , could this help at all or just coincidence?

Re: Plum Wine
I'd say just drink it and don't worry. I've noticed some beers and ciders and marketing themselves as "naturally cloudy". As mike said, its cosmetic so don't worry.
