<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Last year, I made a white blend of approx 20 %
Swenson White & 80 % Prairie Star. Crushed and pressed the same day. Bx was
around 18 - 20 for the blend. Added sugar and sulphite and yeasted. Fermentation
went well, but yielded a very orange cloudy brew. No ML. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fining with gelatin dropped the cloudiness and a
lot of the colour, but there still remained an orange hue. As well, the wine was
bitter. On the nose and in the taste, you can sense the astringency.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas on how to further clean this up
???</FONT></DIV>
