At my first attempt at muscadine, I crushed 8 lbs of grapes which yielded about 3/4 gal of juice without skins and pulp. Is this about right? It's a little more than I expected. I have about 80 more lbs in the freezer.
Also, I added water up to a gallon and the ph tested 3.6 and the ta .5
I thought muscadines were much more acidic than this. Perhaps I could go 100% juice?
Thanks for your response.
 
There are quit a few hybrids being sold today that have the proper acidity and it is recommended to treat them as they were grapes when making wine from them. The Lomis is supposed to have the proper acidity and brix level to press and ferment.
