So I did something a little different this time around and ordered pre-crushed grapes from a local vineyard. Once received, I added the the appropriate amount of sulfite and let it sit for about 36 hours. I fermented until SG of 1.000 was achieved and transferred the whole lot plus a MLF culture and nutrient to a 55 gal drum with an airlock. It sat 30 days and I tested the sulfite level because I was suspicious no MLF occurred. 100 ppm!!!
Is my MLF Culture dead?
I am planning to aerate rack in a couple days to lower the sulfite levels. Any other tips?
The wine tastes good but I want this process to happen.
Thanks for the tips....
