First MLF - how much longer would you let this go?

[Stressbaby]

Long time poster, first time MLFer.

I have a Syrah and a locally grown Chambourcin. I tested each carboy just for fun and practice. I pitched CH16 on 10/12.

I'm thinking I maybe still see the slightest hint of malic in the Chambourcin, but the Syrah looks done. Agree? And thoughts on the timing of repeat test or Kmeta?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you're about done. I'd let them go another two weeks and add sulfite.

+1 what Jim says, they look pretty much done. Give it a couple of weeks and add Kmeta. You are in no hurry since they finished so quickly. Mine have tested like they are done for 3+ weeks and I haven't Kmeta'd yet. Had planned on doing the Lanza Zin today, but life got in the way (in a good way).
