In this video, I am testing to determine if malolactic fermentation (MLF) has completed on several wines. This paper chromatography method will test for the presence of malic acid, lactic acid, and tartaric acid. It is important to assure that MLF is complete before bottling a red wine. If the wine still contains malic acid, a secondary fermentation may happen in the bottle, resulting in a fizzy or partially carbonated wine.
This is the easiest way to test if malolactic fermentation has finished in your wine.
