Thanks for all the info everyone! Update- came out amazing, stopped at 3 weeks. The wyeasty gave the wine a yogurt aroma and brought out some of the fruit flavors. Giving a berry parfait impression with the French oak giving a nice light oakyness at the end. Really looking forward to see this...

Like your style. I'll got it a month- month and a half before adding k-meta. House is kept at 69-72 depending ding on the time of day (texas heat swing the tempeture) on the floor so I'm sure it's warmer than ambient temp.

I try to only add it during the start and transfer to secondary while it's still a little vigorous. Just so I'll ha eve room to hit it with a larger does towards the end. So it shoukd be relatively low so2. I also used icv-d21 which is supposed to be a low so2 producer.

My mistake. I used wyeasty 4007. Got it mixed up with another strain on the morewine site. Oenos 1.0 is advertised as 14 days and apparently they have an oenos 2.0 that can finish in 10. Wyeasty 4007 is advertised to finish between 1-3 months.

Hello everyone. Currently doing a malolactic fermentation for the first time. A Week in and everything going well. I plan to stop based on taste profile and not using a chromatography test (not in the budget for now). Question is, can an active mlf be stopped with sulphites or pasteurization...

I'll be bringing a cane with a hook on it and a tarp so I'm hoping I can lay it below the vine and try to shake them off the higher branches. Mustangs here grow the same way. From the street veiw it looks like my target vines are going to be 10-30 ft

After trying every hint I could, I realized I can use Google Street view lol. I've got my route planned now. Thanks for the input. It's a 700 mile round trip so go na rent a van and bring 20 buckets to fill.

Hello everyone, first time posting. I'm located in central texas and have plenty of access to mustang grapes this season but I'm planning a trip to east texas, Louisiana if I have to in search of muscadine grapes in August/September as a form of a week long vacation. Was wondering if anyone in...
