Description

Good for 66 gallons. Oenococcus Oeni strain manufactured by Christian Hansen laboratories. Malolactic cultures are bacteria that convert harsher malic acid to lactic acid. They are often used in red wines to mellow them and sometimes in Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to provide the buttery notes. This culture is added 2-3 days into the initial ferment while the alcohol levels are lower. This was the original ML strain that most winemakers used. Alcohol tolerance 14% v/v.

How do you prepare the dry Malo bacteria for use in a 5-6G carboy?
Leo Otterbein on May 23, 2020
BEST ANSWER: If I remember right, that packet is rated for use in hectoliters (hL). 1 hL is 100 liters. A 6 gallon carboy is 23 liters. I purchased a scale so I could measure in a scale of 1/10 a gram. Be sure to prep correctly before adding it. BTW, I tried using it with a kit wine and didn't see significant results. It works well with wine from grapes.
Once opened can you store the unused amount in the freezer for use in other wine batches over the next few months? I typically run the ML fermentation on 5 gallon batches of wine at a time and have lots left over in the package.
Matt Telfer on Oct 21, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it stores well. I first used it in May 2020. Since then I have used it in three other batches. The latest one being June 2021 and it’s working fine. I just place it in a plastic freezer bag and take out a few granules when I need them.
It is 66 gallons of must or finished wine we inoculate for? I have 83 gallons of merlot must and figure close to 60 gallons of wine.
kevin gill on Sep 7, 2021
BEST ANSWER: Kevin,
I usually inoculate after the primary fermentation is complete, while it is in the barrel aging.

red wine batch .
I have used this product with good success and with a yeast additive it seems to go a little quicker. My experience with the 70 F rule for a good start to the MLf is important .. Testing at the end to determine when fermentation is ending also crucial to good tasting red wine..

The product isn't working this year
Hate to be critical of a product I've relied on for malolactic fermentation for upwards of 20 years. But this year it hasn't seemed to have worked; even after two attempts. The pH usually rises from around 2.1 to 2.5. But this year it hasn't risen above 2.3. I will be running chromatography test in a day or two.
So can't give a usual 5 star rating at this time.

Great stuff!
Past experiences with this product have been positive. The purchase I recently made is for my 2018 harvest. I've been using this ML strain for several years, it's my standard ML treatment.

We have been using this malolactic culture for the last few years, seems to work quickly and completely. Have never had any issues or lack of complete malolactic fermentation.

Freeze dried Viniflora review
I have used this Malolactic bacteria for years. It always frements quickly and completely. I add it when my must reaches 80 degrees. It likes it warm.
