      I had trouble with the chemistry on this one. I could not get the juice to settle to get an accurate reading, but the best reading I could get was a BRIX of 25.5 (sg 1112).

      TA was about 5.0, but again done using “cloudy” juice. Added 4 litres acidified water and tartaric acid to raise TA to 6.0.

      Pitched EC1118 in GoFerm and have a very strong fermentation going with sg this morning down to 1050.

      Brix 24.5
      pH 4.08
      TA 4
      Added 2.5g/litre of tartaric acid based on estimate of 32litres of juice from 125lbs. pH dropped to 3.58.
      Adjusted Brix to 23.5
      Started fermentation after 4 days of cold soak at 3C.
      No YAN figures to work with. Assume around 100, will add 200ppm nutrients.
