Mustang grape wine...how do I do this and make calculations?

[winemaker_3352]

Yes it will.

.80 is on the high side - but not bad.
Recheck after fermentation is complete - it might change a bit.

You can always cold stabilize it with potassium bicarbonate to lower your acidity.

Saramc, won't my hydrometer tell me the same thing?

What saramc is saying is you can take a grape and know what you will have in sugar in your must. You broke down the grapes pretty good and you are not doing that big of a batch, so your reading should be fine.

And again, like I said your acid is slightly high but don't worry about it. Are you planning on backseetening the wine?

Yes, I started at 1090 and plan on fermenting to dry, then backsweetening. If its like any other wild grapes I have messed with, a lot of that acid will precipitate out after fermentation.

1090 is a suitable SG for this wine, isn't it?
