Ok - numbers time & what to adjust.
Must temp is up at about 60F now - should be mid high 60s by tonight
Brix (after adjusting): 24.5 (S.G 1.102)
pH : 3.5 (digital meter)
T.A.: 5.0 (approx - test kit)
I would be comfortable with lowering the pH a bit since I need to raise the T.A., but how much would 2g/L of Tartaric acid potentially lower the pH by, if I were try to raise it to 7.0? I'm worried that I'll end up with a too low pH before I pitch yeast later
