    I initially had a pH of 4.02 . I added 20 g tartaric acid which brought it down to 3.72 . After fermentation I got the reading of 2.89. I don’t know if the 3.72 or 4.02 was a bad reading, it’s possible. I will try your advice. Thanks for responding.

    Good Day all,

    I would appreciate any recommendations on dealing with low pH. I don’t think my original pH measurements were accurate due to callibration problems and technique, but am now confident in my current numbers.
    pH 2.9 , TA 6.8 I tried to do a malolactic fermentation but it stuck, probably because of the low pH.

    thanks,
