To help dissolve the bentonite in the water, start with water that's at least 140F. Also, it has been proven that adding the bentonite at mid to late fermention removes the proteins responsible for the haze more effectively. I like to add mine after week 1 of fermention, halfway through the fermention process. Give it a week & by that time my SG is below 0.999 & the bentonite has done it's job. This is my experience with full body dry reds of course.

No, it binds to other things you want to remove from the must. You can put it in your garden as a fertilizer.

Using a spoon is a far better way to ensure that you're not over-aerating your wine with a power stirring paddle/screw on a drill.

Not all bentonite is the same. As such, you have to prepare it according to the type you have.

Its not recommended as bentonite will strip flavors and sweeteners. Always us it prior to adding any sweetening agents.
