How is your kiwifruit wine getting on?. It was the cooking of the skins, that made my peach wine cloudy, no amount of time will clear it. I except the word of a pro. I needed to add pectinase, at the start. I did with the feijoa wine/ vinegar and that is showings signs of clearing.
Well, I've got several 20 litre lots down, and haven't checked it lately, but I've also got two 1 gallon jars on the kitchen bench (I'll be pleased when they're drunk and I can have my bench space clear again!) and one is still a bit cloudy, the other is beautifully clear, but they are both a bit on the sweet side.These were golden kiwifruit and I haven't used them for wine before, and just used the same recipe as I do for the normal green kiwifruit.Think it could have done with less sugar added, and probably a bit more citric acid or tannin or something, hasn't got any "bite".Bit disappointed with it really.I can't really complain as I was given the fruit, but I wouldn't use gold ones for wine again unless I adjusted the recipe.Much prefer the old green ones.

OK, I had all the ingredients , once. Now I go buy tannin etc. as I require it. I have one more wine kit to make up, I will wait until it gets warmer, to make that one up. I am keen to source Apple concentrate here in Hastings. I know they make it here.
