T is the policy of this forum that nothing actually happens unless we see pictures..

Got any information on the numbers? Brix and Acid?

 

[winointraining]

My brix was a little low I think around 20 , my ta I haven't checked yet going to do that tonite.

 

[winointraining]

ta on 10gal fermenter is .60. ta on 5gal .50 As far as ph I only have strips but they are 4.0 on both

 

[seth8530]

I would not trust the PH strips, but the TA is a bit low. But not bad. I would bring the TA up on the .50 batch to around .65.

 

[winointraining]

do you think acid blend to bring it up ?

 

[seth8530]

Yeah, or perhaps tartaric acid since that is usually the dominant acid found in grapes. Not sure which would work best for your grape type though.
