I'm hoping someone can help me here. I'm about to press my 1st batch of wine from fresh grapes. It's a blend of 1/3 Frontenac, 1/3 Foch, and 1/3 Millot, total volume is about 12 gallons with skins and all. It's been fermenting nicely for the last 6 days and now I'm getting ready to press it and start my MLF. My question is,
Do I need to add campden tablets when I start my MLF?
If not, I know MLF can take 1-3 months to complete. This seems like a long time for a wine to go without having sulfites added to it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
