The Sangiacomo Roberts Road Pinot lot finally completed alcoholic fermentation after
the re-inoculation on 4/7.
| glu+fru | malic | |
03/28/08 | 3.94 | 1.33 | g/L |
04/03/08 | 3.05 | ---- | g/L |
04/14/08 | 1.18 | 1.22 | g/L |
05/02/08 | 0.20 | 1.09 | g/L |
My personal cutoff for "doneness" on alcoholic fermentation is 1.00 g/L, though I prefer to see on the order of 1/10th that number before I inoculate for malolactic which is sort of what I did.
On 5/15/08 I inoculated the Pinot in barrel and carboy with 2.5 grams of Enoferm Alpha malolactic culture, prepared according to directions.
