please help
i know im stupid and cant count but i add way to much acid to my must now i need to reduce it by 3g/l tartaric acid in a gollon batch what would be the best way to do this. i dont live near any homebrew shops and online will take to long so the must will spoil
 
Can you just increase your batch size to get the acid level back down?
 
The only way to do this without anything from a brew shop would be to do as Racer said and dilute. If thats not possible then I would try and ferment it and adjust after fermentation. Just get a good starter going and slowly introduce the must to it so that it can acclimate to the high acid level.
 
I have heard you can try adding a tums or rolaid to remove the acid, I have never done it though....
