Masta, this sounds like the kit I am using. Do you know if the NaOHsolution in it is supposed to be .1 or .2? The kit when I opened it had .1 in it, and when making a blueberry wine back in Mar, seemed to make sense. Ibegan to question myself when I made a strawberry wine months laterfrom scratch, started at .65 w/acid blendand addedthree cans of Welchesfrozen white grape concentrateto five gallons at first racking in secondary. Acid shot up to over 1.2%. Wasn't sure if active fermentation effected readings. Possible bad chemicals. Next trip to store bought replacement bottlefor LD carlson kit, and found this one at 1/5 normal or .2. To add more confusion, the bottle that orig came with the LDkit, .1 is Crosby/Baker, and the new one is LD Carlson, the 1/5. Almost every book I read has a different take on this, diluting/multiplying, etc.Is that much acid to be expected in the frozen concentrates? I've read some of the posts here andalmost seems like theyare adding more concentrate than sugar, I wonder what some of their readings were.
