I use Bentonite with all my ciders. 2 tablespoons boiled in 2 cups of water, added to the secondary (yes, I do rack it, too), and then chilled for a few days. Works wonders. YMMV

Hey all.
I've got a cider fermenting right now. Currently its very cloudy. Wondering if this will clear on its own, and if not, whats the best way to clear it? Filter? Will gelatin work on cider?
I'm using fresh pressed, uv pasteurized cider from an orchard, so it was cloudy to start with.
Thanks

Use the 1-2 punch! ( a positive charged and negative charged wine finings): Chitosan and Kiesolsol

Clear as brilliant glass in 48 hrs.

Homebrew shops sell them as "Super Kleer"

And I think this guys knows a couple things about cider.

I did my first cider and mead last fall, and time cleared it up nicely for me, after a couple transfers.

Indeed, if you can be patient: time,cold, and racking will clear it up.
