It's a fining. It is apparently composed of Iron? I am researching it, since i've never heard of it before.

I have looked all over google and as it has something to do with iron? I just wondered if I actually need it or what it does to the wine and if i do need it were can i get it rather than buying wine kits.

cheers for the help.

Scratch that, that's apparently a product for enriching flour. :lol:

It's probably just a clever play on words indicating its a neutral fining. I would add it in as per the instuctions on your kit to ensure it clears properly.

do you think i could buy it from a shop, or is there another type of finings i can buy from a shop?

Oh, i see what you mean. I wouldn't bother, just buy a two step wine fining from any brew shop. Don't look for any particular brand until you've found one you like.

Thanks again.
