Hi. Can anyone help, i have a youngs elderberry 6 btl brew on the go. It finished fermentation so I added the stabilizer and finings but after a week it had not cleared. After checking on this site i bought some pectin and tested a small amount of the wine but it did not clear. I then tried some bentonite clay in the demijohn which has been in for one week now but has still not cleared the wine...? I did wonder if it should be in a warmer environment as it's in a very cool area at the moment. Any advise would be most welcome. Thank you.

The wine also needs thoroughly degassing, instructions often call for the wine to be agitated or shaken, this removes the CO2 and is important to allow it to clear, if the wine is not de-gassed fully then this can stop it clearing too.
If it has fully finished fermenting and has a low reading, and also has been thoroughly degassed then let us know and we will refer this to Youngs for you
You could possibly try leaving the top open, or at least not sealed so that the gasses can escape early on, then seal it a couple of days later.
