So I racked 10l of 6 week fermented mead into two 5l demijons earlier this week.
One demi had about a cup of candied rose hips in it...because why not? Being a fruit, I thought pectinase would be in order. I forgot about it until the point of racking so estimated the amount - pretty sure on the underside. Maybe 1/4teaspoon in the 5l.
Two days later, the mead with the pectinase and rose hips is crystal clear:

I thought the haze in mead was yeast. I didn't think pectinsase would drop yeast.
Any idea what's going on here?
