Hey guys I started a large batch of blackberry today and have a couple questions. I pressed 80lbs of blackberries today and set the pulp aside in strainer bags. I added water and sugar to the 15gal mark and adjusted SG to 1.090. My PH was 3.0 and my TA was .36%. I picked these berries when they were super ripe so the acid was lower and the variaties I have are bred for lower acid. I put my bags of pulp into the primary and I am hoping that I will gain a little acid between now and racking. I am using Montrachet so I wont be metabolizing any malic. Do you guys think my TA will rise in thr next week from the strainer bags? Also should I try and raise that PH a little? It doesnt taste to acidic, but then again its super sweet right now.
