      Post your chemistry and planned adjustments for the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon by replying to this topic.

      Thanks,

      My numbers:
      Brix 20.3
      pH 3.66
      TA 5.9
      YAN 148 mg N/L

      I will be adding sugar to bring the Brix up to 23, and a little bit of acid to bring the TA up to 6.4

      Brix 20.4
      pH 3.57
      TA 6.0
      YAN 126

      Grapes smelled and tasted of mould, started fermentation last night.

      I finally picked up the must from the freezer facilty and started fermentation. The thing that I found is difference between my Brix reading and the above two posts. My Brix showed 22.5. pH was 3.5. I wonder what others had.
