Alrighty we're back. According to the directions this is Day 15
clearing so as i mentioned yesterday we put this in a bucket
because it's easier to mix and stir today we are adding kitazen it's the
last thing we're going to put in here again this helps the wine clear so
that you can have some nice clear wine in your bottle in 14 more days
but just so you know i'm going to filter mine
so this step isn't as important for me because i'm going to filter it
but you don't have to filter your wine i'm just very particular i like mine
that way so let's get this added again you're going
to want clean sanitized equipment we got the lid
off here we're going to go ahead and add our
coyotes in we have our siphon because we're going to siphon from the
bucket to the carboy and that's where it's going to stay
until it's clean and filtered so we do have a clean and sanitized carboy
also all right let's get this kite as an in
and mix it up all right we got our drill ready to go
we got our clean and sanitized carboy that we're going to rack this off into
once we have stirred in our kaya's in so this is a pretty decent bag
see its kite is in i don't know if you can read that but
we're gonna go ahead and open this up and we just dump the contents of the bag
in here i try to get as much out of here as
possible this stuff does a great job of clearing your wine
so at the end if you rack this off leave all the sediment at the bottom you have
some pretty clear wine to bottle after this but again i
mentioned i'm gonna filter it so let's stir this in again the directions
say two to four minutes so we're going to stir it up real good and
then we're going to get it wrapped into the cardboard
okay now that our kite is mixed in we're going to go ahead and get this bucket up
here we've got our carboy down here we're
going to get one end of the siphon tube put it into the carboy hook up our auto
siphon again we don't really the the tip doesn't
really matter in this stage because we've just mixed everything up so
there's no sediment at this at this point so we're just going to put
this in here
give it a real quick pump and now it's siphoning
so i'm going to take a real quick second while this is siphoning into
the carboy and say the directions say day 26 to 54. so this is day 15
so day 26 to 54. so in 10 days i usually wait two weeks but in 10 days
we could actually filter this if the wine is clear never ever filter
cloudy wine now it says 25 to 54 because
in the instructions it does say if your wine still cloudy
give it a little twist get the sediment off the sides let it settle
and then let it set for another 7 to 14 days so
that's what we're going to do we're going to finish getting in the carboy
here put an air lock on the top and let it
set for another 10 to 14 days all righty so you can see we filled
this wine all the way up right to the neck
we're going to put the bung in there with the air lock
and you see how it only sticks down here so you got about two inches of space
between the wine and the airlock and there's your airlock
let's air out but nothing in so there we are
all right so that's how you stabilize you degas and you clear your wine so
back under the table for two more weeks directions say 10 days on up so i like
to let it set two weeks because that usually lets everything clear out
pretty good so we'll be back in two weeks
and we'll filter and then a couple days later we're gonna bottle
