I just picked up some merlot grapes that I am looking forward to turning into wine. The shop that I got the grapes from reported the pH was 3.4 when they picked them. I got them home and my pH meter is reading 3.9. I do not trust my pH meter and I am ordering another one.
The question is should the pH have changed much from picking and crushing? Can I trust the reported pH from the farm because my meter is broken. I have not yet pitched yeast so I can add acid blend if needed.
Thank you.
