for 30 gallons of wine.
Rack off the gross lees from secondary.
Make sure wine temperature is within 70-75F
1. Check wine SO2 is below 20ppm
2. adding 4.54 gram of nutrition (Leucofood) into 30 Gallon wine, mix well.
3. (MBR31, instructions 2.5HL for 66 gallons) that would mean I use 1.14grams MBR31 for 30 gallons.
4. Rehydrate instructions MBR31 20 times its weight of water would need (22.8 grams of water) wait 15 minutes and pour into 30 gallon wine. Mix well.
5. Place air lock
6. stir wine gentility ever 2 days. (do i need to do this?)
7. After 15 days do Accuvin malic test (do I add more nutrient? )
