I use a kitchen mortar to turn into a very fine powder when it's still dry and then add it directly to water. If you have a magnetic lab stirrer this is made even easier - you can just let it run for a couple hours while the Bentonite hydrates.
I have a tub of Young's All Purpose Wine Yeast, and that actually includes some Bentonite clay powder along with the yeast, listed on the ingredients list. You only need 1 teaspoon (5ml) per gallon and you don't have to be as fussy with all the pushing it through a sieve business.
Hi, If mixing bentonite, consider investing in a magnetic stirrer. They are inexpensive varieties online which you may find easy to use, effective, requiring less effort and creating no troublesome mess. @ Gerry, I dispose of the must (topped with warm water) in the outside drain or compost , especially if it includes oak chips/fining.
The bentonite makes a huge difference and it hasn't changed the quality of the wine at all, tastes amazing already and will only improve over the next few months. Thanks for watching and God bless, Andy
Yeah, I defo overdid it but there seems to be a wide variety of opinions on how much to use. I'll use a lot less next time. Thanks for the advice, Andy
How come the label says to use 28g per gallon (which is about 4.5 teaspoons) but the web page selling it says to use 1 teaspoon per gallon? 🤔I just added a quarter of a teaspoon per liter. Let's see what happens.
Thank you for showing us how to do this. I will be trying it this week. How do you dispose of the bentonite? I have heard it can plug up a drain pretty good.
bentone must be poured and stirred with wooden or plastic spoon. Not metal. Bentonite when comes in contact with water, it is negatively charges. Therefore people use sodium Bentonite to detox kidney and liver by drinking Bentanite solution
Hi Pollob, it's Bentonite powder from Youngs (U.K. company. www.amazon.co.uk/Youngs-uBrew-Bentonite-100g/dp/B00E9BPV8C/ref=asc_df_B00E9BPV8C/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=256355703074&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8240264684757326391&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007295&hvtargid=pla-429174155897&psc=1
of every video I have seen about using bentonite there is only one thing everyone should remember but no one talks about, USE FOOD GRADE BENTONITE if you do not you are adding heavy metals to your wines.
Excellent point. I would hope that the Young's stuff I used was but that could be naive as it's not labelled as such. Do you recommend any particular product Rob?
Now there's a man who's proud of his garden and rightly so😂
Thanks, it's looking even better this year.

Sir, this was a very helpful video, many thanks!
You're welcome, thanks for watching

Nonsense, a whisk and elbow grease😂
Great video thanks a lot for sharing
That’s some clear wine! 😯

great video, but I think you over did the bentonite. Normally its like 2 teaspoon for 5 gallons.
Yeah, I defo overdid it but there seems to be a wide variety of opinions on how much to use. I'll use a lot less next time. Thanks for the advice, Andy

Let us know how it works out
To sell more bentonite probably.

Thanks for watching. Hope it went ok, I threw excess in my garden or just bin it.
Throw it in garden. It's clay
Next time Try soaking it in warm water, then stir it up into a smooth slurry. Easy!! 🍻

Sir. At 8.12, I believe your labrador slips on the kitchen floor.
Close, it was a Whippet.
Hi, I don't understand why you has passed the clay through the filter.
Hi Patricio, it's lumpy as anything until you force it through the sieve. Comes out a nice smooth paste after. Thanks for watching, Andy
@@waymarkerbushcraft thanks for answering
We have a 2500 Ltrs tank. How many gram or kg we go to put bentonite
5 grm for 10 litr calculate 2500 litr

Any Indian here? Is bentonite clay and multan mitti same? Can we add mitti to wine making??
No multani mitti is a type of soil and bentonite is a type of clay found near volcano and it is extracted near volcano
@@himanshunishad2261 thanks dude
Is this pineapple wine?
I have many bentonite
Hi Buddy, you are using way too much bentonite
What's the downside of using too much ?
@@DL101ca Excessive use of bentonite/fining agents will cause off-flavours, over stripping of colours and aromas
Thanks but it would have been helpful if you had advised how much should be used?
@@waymarkerbushcraft one tablespoon per cup of hot water then dose 1-2 tablespoon per 6 liter of wine
@@liveloveride1676 Thanks. I'm about to do 2 gallons of elderberry wine so I'll use that amount this time. Cheers, Andy
way too much Bentonite
Thanks and what's your best advice on how much and how to prepare?
?
@@waymarkerbushcraft Not an expert but something less than 50gms per gallon is more than enough.
Waste of time just addore water.
Your explaining is booring.could have been better
Thanks, but there wasn't any boars in the video
