No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
I did a quick pH check this morning and got a 3.99 reading. I added my Lallzyme EX and Opti Red and gave the must a stir. Temp was at 57F. I planned to run another test, and adjust with Tartaric Acid as necessary later. 8 hours later, at 64F I read 7.02 with my 7.01 reagent. Perfect. So I did a TA test and came up with .72. pH was measured at 3.56. I set the meter in some distilled water for a few minutes while I started to clean up. Then decided to take another pH measurement just to be sure. It read 4.61. Back into the 7.01 reagent and it read 6.57. So I double checked with the 4.01 and it was reading 4.6. I just calibrated on Friday and couldn't get it to calibrate again today after this exercise. I'm tempted to let things ride, based on the 3.56 and .73 TA. But the readings being all over the place has me worried. The juice tastes good not too flat, not too acidic.
Any advice? For now at least, the 26 month old CC LR Red Mountain Trio I just opened is making me feel better. Maybe I should just stick with that.
