We can offer two options for you to test for the completion of your malolactic fermentation---home testing with a Vertical Chromatography test kit, or bring us a sample and we will test it for you.
We Can Test It For You
REFLECTOQUANT ML ENDPOINT TEST:
This meter tests for the completion of malo-lactic fermentation. ReflectoQuant results are provided as a residual malic acid reading of either a PPM reading below 60, or a result of HIGH if ML is not complete.
How to prepare your wine sample:
Bottles for collecting samples are available for sale at The Beverage People, or bring in your own small, well sealed container with a minimum of 50 ml sample.
Deliver your sample in-person at The Beverage People's Fermenters Warehouse during business hours.
How are test results communicated?
Results are typically provided in less than 48 hours. Your test results will be emailed to you along with reading material that will help you understand the results. Private Lessons are available to help expand your knowledge as necessary to make the most of your test results.
We stock a traditional, wet-chemistry kit that allows you to use chromatography paper to determine the presence or absence of malic, lactic, and tartaric acids in your wine.
This test is called "Vertical Chromatography" and is not too difficult to perform at home. If you prefer to perform your own wine testing at home, this is a very viable option.
We strive to help our customers produce world-class fermented beverages and foods by bringing together quality supplies and best-practices instructional content. Our knowledgeable staff works hard to channel an international supply chain and multi-industry knowledge base to make sure your hobbies are successful.
