The kieselsohl I'm using is from Spagnols. It is a solution that they
say to yse after some other thing they sell. I'm using it at a rate
they state on their product. Sometimes I wonder about some of their
products. They are the ones that sold me Bocksin.
My wine is settling out ok, not as clear as I think it should be, but
probably sufficient. My other carboys I treated with lysozyme to
terminate any potential MLF and will fine with bentonite, gelatin, and
kieselsohl, unless you have any recommendations. You questioned
geletin initially but recommended it later. Most white kits I have
done use bentonite, gelatin and either kieselsohl or isinglass.
You are always so helpful Tom, I appreciate your input.
