Finally! Some signs of MLF

For the last few days I've been monitoring the airlocks to see any sign of gas being put off by the MLF innoculation. Finally today while observing I saw a bubbling. I'll take that as a good sign that some MLF is happening. I'll do a malic acid level test in a few days to see where it is.

2nd attempt with MLF

I've added some MBR 31 to everything in hopes of getting some malic acid conversion going. All the wine is tasting good and the Sangiovese is really exceptional. I've added some oak to the 3 gallon carboy of syrah/chenin blanc to see how it tastes.
