Just found out about a ‘wine lab’ only 20 min from my home. I guess there’s enough local ‘lab-less’ wineries to justify this joint. (Probably just a dude in his basement with half decent equipment). They have panel deals or pay by the test. I immediately thought of free so2 and YAN level.
But is this even logical? To crush and then drop off a sample- I’d need that so2 level immediately- otherwise pointless (A/O or ‘ripper’ test) And for YAN- is it worth the $24 test or overkill? To be honest dosing nutrient always feels like a crapshoot.
Let’s assume they have results before it’s time for 1st addition. (Still Awaiting email response)
