I'm pretty new at this whole winemaking experiment, only bottled one kit and have several in the process.
I have a 1 gal. cranberry/cherry that I started last November. It was my second time and it seemed to go well.
I've racked it serveral times, added Campden tablets to it every other racking. And when I tried it the last few rackings, I had imediate heart burn.
I tested it and it was 3.6 pH. added 1 1/2t. Potassium bicarbonate and put it in a quite place to think. I haven't racked it again since but will be soon.
I have not added any sweetener yet, I wanted to get this under control first.
What should I do?
Will this go away of I add sweetener (sugar)? Is it ruined?
Any help or enlightenment would be awesome, thanks
