I racked and stabilized 5 gallons of Vignoles last night and did an acid test.
The PH is 3.7 and the T.A. is .9o. After sweetening to 2.5 brix the taste is good. Should I be concerned with the high PH.?
The grapes in the Northeast seemed very acidic this year. This variety tested 2.85 ph and 1.7 TA when I picked it up. I used calcium carbonate prior to fermentation and potassium bicarbonate during cold crashing to get the acid down.
