MLF and Barrel

I now have a 13.2 Vadai on its way to sit next to his older little brother.
In wanting to get this Falls wine into both barrels is it ok to start MLF right in them?

That's what many commercial operations do.

That is what I thought. Thanks Jim!

You can.... I do it in carboys so it gives me a better chance to observe and then perform another clean rack in 8 weeks. Then to the barrels.

We press, let settle for a day or two, rack to barrel and start mlf in the barrel right away.
