I've been fermenting a mead for almost two weeks and added cherries a few days ago.  The melomel is very hazy. I'm wondering if I should be using some alcohol tolerant pectinase to clear this up, fining later, or something else. Thoughts?

Did you heat up the cherries or any other pectin containing fruit? If not its not a pectin issue. It seems to me the cherries simply reinvigorated the fermentation and its just yeast and fruit particles in suspension. You probably just need to wait.

I didn't boil.  I'll wait the fermentation out then. Thanks

Mead requires a meditative patience my experience with fruited mead is it takes months to clear and a year at least to really peak

Once fermentation is finished, I use Super Kleer KC.   Works great.

Mead requires the patience of the Buddha but it’s worth it.Male beer or cider to distract yourself while it matures
