What is everyone's opinion on using a liguid malolactic bacteria? I am on my
third pinot noir kit and I am considering giving it a try with a part of the batch.
I would be interested in seeing how much of a difference it makes in the final product.

If by kit, you mean that this is a kit wine, you would be well advised NOT to try to do an MLF. You will probably end up with a very flabby low acid no taste wine.

If you want to test it to be sure, that's understandable, but it is likely to have undesirable results. When I make wine from a kit I try to prevent malolactic fermentation. It's used on juice and grapes, rather than kits.
