Last year was my first year making wine. So I wanted to experiment.
I made two 54-liter batches of RED ( Merlot/Cab/Sangiovese) one with MLF and one without. Turns out the MLF made a huge difference. After some reading I think I can try to start MLF as long as my SO2 is not to high. If that's the case what's the lowest SO2 can be to start MLF. Anything else i'm missing?
I used Lalvin Bacchus ... Has anyone tried anything else. Bacchus seems to the way to go but its a little pricey.
Thanks
