Today, I started Malolactic Fermentation on the Syrah and Syrah/Sangiovese blends. They all seem to be completely dry now and could use some MLF to help them mellow out a bit. When I did the punch down in the Flextank I went ahead and added in Enoferm Beta culture disolved in 500ml of water into the tank.
After doing the precision hydrometer test on the Barbera and Sangiovese I was surprised to see that they were not completely dry yet. The Sangiovese was measuring -1.5 brix and the Barbera was at -1 brix. I therefore aborted my plans to innoculate them for MLF and will wait another day or two.
