This is my first 6 gal batch.
Everything has seemed to be going fine until I racked my Apfelwein from the secondary to a fresh Carboy for ageing. When I took my measurements I came up with a PH of 4.5. I then added 3ml NaOh to achieve a reading of 8.2 which by my math should give me a .225 Ta
I am using a digital Hannah PH tester and have freshly calibrated it. I also double checked my measurement and came out on the nose both times.
I understand that a Ta of .225 is too low, so how do I adjust it ups to where it needs to be?
Man I wish I paid more attention back in High School Chemistry.
