Default Help with Clearing Chardonnay

Help....

I made 10 gallons of Regina Chardonnay from juice in September, which
fermented nicely in glass carboys; however, even after an addition of
isinglass it remains cloudy. I'm playing around with the idea of buying a
small filtering device. Does anyone have any constructive solutions? Does
this often happen with juice?

this is a twin-pack with kielosol and chitosan. I think one kit is good for
5-gallons, but you need to make sure. It did an excellent job for me.

Good idea; I do a lot of Regina juice; another option is bentonite.

I agree, the SuperKleer KC Finings has always worked for me. I have used it
many times for whites. (Never reds.) It will usually clear over night but
give it a week to pack down a bit.
