I use to add it at start of fermentation it will get moved around and pull more solids out of suspension that way.. long time since I used it but from memory it used to work well..

I mean time will settle it so what add stuff ?

Calcium is preferred by and often used by winemakers
It is most effective if rehydrated Best rate is 10g per 5litres of wash
Mix with 15 x water and sit for 6 hours, than add to degassed wash, stirring well and allow to settle for a day or so.
It is often taken internally as a detox

But if you haven’t got an extra week to wait for a wash to finish , maybe you need a new hobby because this really is a hobby of patience , wait for the wash/mash, wait and sit with the still while it’s running , wait for booze to age . It goes on and on
