Lysozyme is used to hinder or block malolactic fermentation in wine. To use, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons in 4 oz. of hot water. Stir gently for one minute. Allow mixture to soak-up for 45 minutes. Repeat stirring and soaking until solution is clear. This makes a 5% solution. Use 1 fluid ounce of the 5% solution per 1.5 gallons of wine.
