Sodium Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay (E558) which swells and absorbs unwanted proteins that can cause your finished wine or cider to be hazy.
The Bentonite then sinks to the bottom of the fermenter so you can syphon off the clear wine.
Bentonite should not be used at the same time as pectolase as the bentonite will prevent the pectolase from working.
Use a max of 1g per litre of wine or cider. Using more than this can strip the wine of aromas and other compounds and flavours.
Add Bentonite at the beginning of your brewing process. Mix 4.5 grams (1 tsp) with 100ml boiling water (per 4.5 litres (1 gallon) of liquid) and mix very well until it forms a paste. Leave to cool, then add to the fermenter, stir well yeast as per normal.

Do not use pectolase and bentonite at the same time as the bentonite with stop the pectolase enzymes from working.
