Chilean Juice first bucket

[shrive22]

I just measured the ph of my first Chilean juice buckets. They are at sg of about .994

Syrah - 3.27
Cab sauv - 3.17
Pinot noir - 3.08

Are these a little low? Can I still increase the ph?

Is it too late to add raisins for added body? Will the sugar from the raisins ferment or sweeten the wine?

I picked up : Malbec, Petite Syrah, Cab Sauv, Carmenere, and Zin. I'll add rasins to the secondary with a couple TBS of tannin to each.

Starting SG pretty low on some:
Malbec 1.086
Carmenere 1.084
Cab 1.086
Zin 1.074
Petite 1.092

Did any of you have similar sg or are they just underway. I wonder if I need to add some sugar.

I agree with WI_Wino, your wines were fermenting. Every Chilean bucket I ever had sg was always around 1.090.

Are you fully degassed? I don't know if that'll throw the reading off or not, but those are low. Pinot is really low.

No. I haven't de gassed yet. I've searched elsewhere and it seems that co2 will throw off tests.
