For K2CO3, 0.62 g/L removes 1 g/L, so I get 14.26. Go slow! Do half to start. If you didn't do MLF yet, and your pH isn't too low to do it, you may get it down that way too.......To lower TA from 9.8 g/L to 8.8 g/L for 6 gallons, will I need to add 15.29grams of K-BiCarb.?
Thanks John!!For K2CO3, 0.62 g/L removes 1 g/L, so I get 14.26. Go slow! Do half to start. If you didn't do MLF yet, and your pH isn't too low to do it, you may get it down that way too.......
I don't do TA that way, so I can't tell you why that is. IIRC,my Vinmetrica titration process doesn't delineate between reds and whites, just titrate to 8.2, see how much solution was used, multiply that by two, and voila!! TADo we use a different formula to find the TA of a white wine ?
www.brsquared.org Has two formulas - 0.75 for Reds and - 0.62 for Whites. I have never seen this anywhere else.
Under: Articles/Influence of pH/pH and titration
Europe uses the 0.65 formula because they express TA as sulfuric.I don't do TA that way, so I can't tell you why that is. IIRC,my Vinmetrica titration process doesn't delineate between reds and whites, just titrate to 8.2, see how much solution was used, multiply that by two, and voila!! TA
When in doubt, remember the old acronym (slightly modified) KIST Keep It Simple Tnuscan
