Description

Malolactic fermentation is the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid by bacteria from the lactic acid bacteria family. Lactic acid is less acidic than malic acid, which in turn decreases acidity and helps to soften and/or round out some of the flavors in wine.

Attenuation Calculator

How this yeast strain would behave in a typical fermentation.

*Expected final gravity range for fermentation with this yeast. This simple calculator does not take alcohol tolerance into account.

Footnotes

  • * Rough estimate based on yeast form
  • ** Hazy and thiolized are based on research from Omega Labs
  • *** Origins are often unreliable (hearsay) and difficult to determine
