Trying to lower CO2 from 50 to 20 in order to start MLF in my merlot. I
"dribbled" it in a long thread of juice about two feet long from one
secondary carboy to another with lots of foam. It only dropped to 40ppm and
I suppose I oxidized the hell out of it, if that matters. I would guess 40
is still twice too high. I read that H2O2 works with one ml of 3% peroxide
per gallon to lower the CO2 by 10, but I also recall that the problem here
is that the peroxide kills the ML germ. I have four more carboys to go so I
would certainly appreciate some advice as to how to proceed......

Thanks,
Bruce
