Good thought, @winemaker81! I used Lalvin VP41 MB. Different yeast certainly produce CO2 in vastly different amounts, so I guess Bacteria would also? Strange, I can't seem to find good answers online... I will keep the blowoff valve open, as the temperature is being controlled by Fermentrack...

Another MLF question, and Alcohol fermentation question My ending gravity of the Pinot Noirs, in the Unitanks, is .998. I have not made wine since 2017 in glass carboys, but now I am using Unitank Conicals that can hold pressure by design. Question - why do I get a lot of CO2 gas when I close up...
