Rural freight increase & review of bulky item pricing. Unfortunately rural freight has increased to $14 to more closely reflect the actual cost to us. We have retained the $99 free freight threshold. As at 22 April we are working on calculating some pricing increases for bulky items but these are yet to be finalised so we suggest if you have a need for buckets to order them sooner rather than later.
Bentonite is a fining product can be added during fermentation or after fermentation. Holds a negative charge, so may be used in conjunction with a positive charge fining agent eg islinglass or sparkolloid.
Use 10g per 5 litre / 1 gallon of homemade wine as finings for home winemaking.
Will not clear all hazes eg pectin hazes.
Highly absorbing, so protect from humidity & odours.
Before use, test odour in an aqueous (water) solution.
Rack your wine first. Add & vigorously stir in a 15 times larger amount of cooled boiled water (ie for 10g use 150ml water). Leave to swell for 6 hours, stirring from time to time. Then add to must and shake or mix through. Once wine has cleared (may take anywhere from a few hours to 2 weeks), rack wine leaving behind the sediment.
