Comment on Tried out a filter the other day...
MuteDog@lemmy.world 3 days agonext time add some pectinase to the ferment. You can try adding some to this wine now if you want, it works better during primary as the yeast keeps it stirred up in suspension, but it can still work post ferment.

Appreciate it! I will say I’m also super weird, it’s why I wanted to try pasteurizing this wine in one of my beer kegs vs adding stuff to kill the fermentation before backsweetening. Typically I when I make a beverage I try doing things not by the book, it also helps that I don’t mind having hazy beverages, I just turned a house water filter into a fermentation filter with some random fittings and dreams for shits and giggles and that’s definitely the vibe I take with all my brewing lol

Yeah, those whole house filters aren’t too uncommon in the homebrewing world, I’ve also seen them stuffed full of hops or whatever and used as a randall. If you’re keeping the keg cold I wouldn’t even both with pasteurization.

Yeah, it’s a wine for the girlfriend and I wanted to back sweeten it a bit, it’s just in the keg for simplicity’s sake before I bottle it lol
