Forgot to use Acti-ML

[geek]

Darn....hydrated vp41 in a bit of wine and forgot to add acti ml.

Added opti Mali plus to carboy though.

Should I add the acti ml after into the carboy??

I wouldn't bother with it at this point. I'm sure it will be fine.

I'm not sure on your question but mine is similar only with opti ml. I started mlf about 1 - 2 weeks ago and used acti ml but opti just arrived in mail. Should I still add it now?

Acti-ML is used to hydrate the mlb prior to pitching the MLB.

Opti Malo Plus is a nutrient for the MLB. This is added to your wine before you pitch the MLB.

Probably will have lowered viable cell counts of MLB. VP-41 is pretty strong strain, so if directly adding to wine didn't kill them all, should be ok.
It any activity showing? bubbles, airlock bubbles, crackling sounds?
If it is going, optimalo addition to wine would be a good idea.
If no activity or test evidence of progress after a month, hydrate properly and pitch another dose.No need to be in a hurry, but only to have it complete.

This is a stainless steel 15gal beer keg. I can see some fizzing when I remove the air lock and put my ear close to the top.
Pointing a flash light down doesn't really give you a good indication of bubbles.

Sounds good then
