Hi my first time at trying to make wine and I have made a mistake. First fermentation finished so transfered into a new bucket and I should have just added the stabiliser but I allso put in the Kieselsol. I s there a way to save this or do I just put it down to a learning curve?

The instructions probably say to de-gas the wine and this helps it to clear too. Once clear you can then continue with the steps and bottle. If you don't manage to clear the wine this just means it can be cloudy in the bottle, after some time the suspended sediment will settle to the bottle of the bottles and if disturbed when poured it will make your wine cloudy in the glass -this wont usually affect the taste but it just looks cloudy. Vegetarians often don't use finings such as Kieselsol as it is not suitable, so then you either need to let the wine settle naturally, or pass through a filter instead.
