As part of each standard analysis the ENOLAB staff provides brief answers when requested by our customers. However there are times when a winemaker has extended questions, or is looking for a second opinion on fermentation approaches, fermentation remedies or other to achieve better wine quality. When there is a need for in-depth discussions the laboratory is available on a consulting basis.

We consult on:

• Recommended fermentation products; yeast, bacteria, fermentation aids, enzymes, etc.
• Fermentation approach; cap management, racking techniques, etc.
• Fermentation remedies; what to do, what not to do.
• Winery setup; cellar, laboratory, etc.
• Wine quality assessment

Fees: 1/4 hour minimum...$120.00 per hour
