I just tested my orange juice winefor acid after degassing.
I used4ml of .1 solution.(not my own) fron the kit.
3ml of wine +4 drops phenolphtaelen.
This result multiplied by .25 gives me an acidity of 1 ((WOW))
It was.65 to .7 before fermentation.
Could it have risen so much?????
we were very carefull with the testing.
my calculations tell me i need to add about3 ounces af calcium carbonate to my 6+gallon batch.
I will be very gratefull for any comments or advice.
I never had a situation where I had to reduce acid before.
