I pitched a sangiovese juice 2 months ago (11/19) I co-inoculated with white labs wlp675. I used actimalo, optimalo and fermaid K. I have had it in 70-75 degrees for about 2 months. The accuvin strip test read not there yet

Should I add more fermaid K? (I read too much nutrients can be detrimental).

Leave it in the warm temp.? or take it out and just let it age in a carboy?

Or are the strips not accurate?
 
Does MLF need to be warm in order to complete. I didn't rack yet? Should I just let it sit in 70 degrees or rack it and place it with other carboys bulk aging in the cool basement?
 
Ok- My basement is about the same 62. I made a small heated room with 2X4 ceiling tiles taped together. It's about 70-75 in there. I'll keep it there until the blotter test is white.
