How to Boost ML Bacteria by Propagation – AEB®

Direct-add bacteria can be added directly pouring the acclimated bag into the wine. Alternatively, they can be propagated with Reactivateur to increase population and efficiency:

1. Draw a small portion of the wine to be inoculated.
2. Use 100 liters (26 Gal) for 250hL (6600 Ga).
3. Add 60 ppm of Fermoplus Malolactique.
4. Adjust pH to 3.5 – 4 and inoculate with the malolactic bacteria of your choice.
5. Maintain a constant temperature of 24°C/ 75°F for 24 hours.
6. The next day that portion of wine will have a much more aggressive population to quickly start the ML process in the rest of the tank.
