I have three wines (Petite Pearl- Brix 22.5) (Marquette- Brix 23.5) (Verona - Brix 18 but adjusted to 22). I pitched Red Star Premiere Rouge on 9/25, inoculated with Wyeast 4007 culture on 9/27, pressed on 9/29 with an SG of 1.000 to 1.002 and racked off the cross lees on 10/5.
This is all new to me. How long should I expect Malo to take? Do I need to do the chromatography test or can I just give it a few weeks then add k-meta and bulk age? If I do chromatography, what test brand do you recommend? The ones I looked at seem pretty pricey.
