I have a Batch of Concord Grape Scratch wine that I pitched the yeast in this morning. I had a couple of questions about the Acid Test and So2 test results, both of which were done after the sugar addition and before I had pitched the yeast. Just for info. sake the SG was 1.104 and Ph was 3.13 . The Vinoferm acid test showed 8.4 grams/ L. I cut the must 50/50 and used 4.2 ml of Indicator to give me a total of 8.4. Next I used the LD Carlson acid test kit andI came up with .65%. How do the two correlate are they anywhere close to the same results? I use a calibrated ph meter for indicating when I had reached a neutral point of 7 also.
The I tested the must for free SO2 with the vinoferm kit. I added a total of 20ml to get the color change. Which should have been 200 if I understand the kit correctly. I only added 6 campden tablets to 6 gallons of must. Could this be right??? Thanks for any help.
