No but the fact that you have added SO2 precludes any successful MLF unless you can get the SO2 way down with aeration or barrel aging until the SO2 is within starting range. pH is also a factor with MLF.

Mike,
I just ordered a PH meter, SO2 kit as well as an TA test kit.
I will post results when I have them. Process of aeration? Stirring I presume?
I guess this would have an added benefit of degassing wine as well.

Thanks,

Steve
 
Lots and lots of splash racking. If this is a wine made from fresh grapes they usually have no problem degassing and clearing on their own as you are not in any sort of hurry to bottle
