acid test

[gordonm]

My 2nd question. I want to test the acid level of my must when I place it into my primary bucket. I have a HM ph-80 hydrotester. I have St. Pipen and Lacross grapes and want a dry to medium sweet white wine. I have acid blend at the ready. Question is, what ph level am I looking for. If it's to high, how would I bring it down and if it's to low, how would I bring it up.
thanks for any help, gordon

On page 8 in the beginners forum, there is a thread titled: understanding pH. I think it will answer most of your questions.
