Lysozyme / killing bacteria / making as stable food, is a numbers game.  There is a calculated risk with every can or plastic retort pouch you buy.  ,,, AND every wine.


You mention lactic acid bacteria.  (not Oneococcus/ MLF)  Have you had a historical problem with them?  In the old days, ie pre 1950 lysozyme wasn’t a choice and folks could make wine.


Infection is a numbers game.  I would be concerned if you did sloppy technique as making kombucha with the same equipment.  Enzymes are expected to react twice as fast with a 10C increase in temperature.  Yes it will still react at lower temps.  Takes longer.  ,,,  Note the university research folks may be saying 99.9% clean is good enough when they say two weeks.
