stdkls28,
I believe the mustang grapes finish verason earlier in the year so you may have some difficulties finding them. I believe the muscadine will start soon so you should have better luck there. The big problem with muscadines is finding them outside the vineyard. We did find two small mustang vines on our property and we established another vine by air layering. As far as finding vines, we see them all along I-10 (outside the city), 290, 59, 35, 36, . . . just about everywhere. We're heading out to Sealy next weekend and we'll see them all along the way. If you need help identifying them, let us know.
We did rack the mustang but did not get a reading yet. A friend came over with a ph meter and measured both the high acid and low acid parts. He got the highest and lowest readings he had ever seen. He also tasted the low high ph part and felt it had a good flavor. My conclusion is . . . I need a meter.
