Remember to add when you rack to secondary and NO k-meta. After MLF do NOT add Sorbate. When do you plan on adding Oak?Oh yeah, this one is getting put through an MLF
My CA cab was 1.094 this yearhow do I calculate an accurate ABV in this sutuation?
Yes. I like to get it off the gross lees before I add the MLF. If you feel you need more nutrients ..add it. make sure the temps are warm not cellar temps.I have American Oak chips in both.
Should I add the MLF after I rack into my first carboy?
Will there be enough nutrients to support ML bacteria? I was under the impression that I should add the ML in the primary at the end of AF.
Yes. The most you will be off is less than 1/2%. I dont label my wines with ABV. Just a "born on" date (month/yr)My other bucket for this year was a 1.094. Is it safe to say that's usable as the initial SG?
