What is acti ml?

Answered by James Porterfield

Acti-ML™ is a unique and innovative product that I have come across in my years as a sommelier and brewer. It is a carefully crafted blend of inactivated yeasts and cellulose, both of which play a crucial role in the fermentation process.

The inactivated yeasts used in Acti-ML™ are not your ordinary yeasts. They have been specifically selected and treated to provide the necessary growth factors for malolactic bacteria. These growth factors include amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and essential trace elements. These nutrients are essential for the healthy growth and development of malolactic bacteria, which are responsible for the conversion of malic acid to lactic acid during fermentation.

One of the key advantages of Acti-ML™ is its biological composition. As a sommelier and brewer, I have always been a proponent of using natural and biological products in the winemaking and processes. Acti-ML™ aligns perfectly with this philosophy, as it is made from 100% biological ingredients. This means that it is free from any synthetic or chemical additives that could potentially alter the flavor or quality of the final product.

In my experience, Acti-ML™ has proven to be highly effective in promoting malolactic fermentation. The carefully selected blend of inactivated yeasts and cellulose provides an ideal environment for the growth of malolactic bacteria. This leads to a smoother and more rounded flavor profile in the finished or .

Not only does Acti-ML™ promote malolactic fermentation, but it also helps to improve the overall stability of the final product. The presence of essential nutrients and growth factors ensures that the malolactic bacteria are healthy and active throughout the fermentation process. This leads to a more consistent and reliable fermentation, reducing the risk of off-flavors or spoilage.

I have found Acti-ML™ to be particularly useful in situations where the natural malolactic fermentation is slow or incomplete. In such cases, adding Acti-ML™ can help to kickstart the fermentation and ensure its completion. This has saved many batches of wine and beer from being discarded or wasted.

Acti-ML™ is a game-changer in the world of fermentation. Its unique blend of inactivated yeasts and cellulose provides the necessary nutrients and growth factors for malolactic bacteria, ensuring a smooth and consistent fermentation process. I highly recommend giving Acti-ML™ a try in your winemaking or brewing endeavors.
