I started malolactic ferm about 3.5 weeks ago in 3 wine: 15 gallon cab sauv/franc blend, 11 gallon amarone juice and 7 gallon barolo juice. The bacteria was vp 41 and I kept in a heated space 70-75 degrees.
I did chromatography yesterday and it appears the malo has turned to lactic in all the wines, however the can sauv still has many small bubbles at the top. Should I leave another couple weeks or is it done?
