After pressing, how long should I wait before racking off gross lees; after racking off gross lees, Im going to add my malo (from White Labs).

Please tell me if this sounds correct---press must after completed fermentation, wait 48-72 hours and then rack gross lees, then I can add my malo.............Is the above correct or should I add directly after pressing? Thx Everyone

PS. Sorry about the subject line I cannot seem to edit that.........

Usually 24-48 hours. 48 allows for more settling/compacting. Usually you can add the Malo right after pressing as the MLB will use the lees as a starter nutrient of sorts. If you rack off the gross lees before adding MLB I would recommend the use of an MLB nutrient such as Opti-Malo Plus.
