I have a Chilian Pinot Noir juice that I started in May. My Mlf test for the past month have read 75mg/l. Can I consider this finished ? My temperture is 73 degrees. PH 3.4, Free so-2 18-28, but my acid is a little high .9. Can I rack, sulfur, then adjust my acid ? Thanks in advance, Bakervinyard
 
According to Cornell University. Malolactic fermentation isn’t considered safely complete until the malic acid concentration is below 30 mg/L. Cheers
