    P.Gris, I hit it with 1l H2O/100lbs (7gl tartaric) plus 1g/l tartaric. Morning after cold soak and pressing off it read 23Brix and a pH of 2.21. Can’t do a TA, cause no NaOH. Anyone got a good TA?? methinks about 7.5/8 at this pH??

    Don. I did the same with my 110lbs lf Muscat/P.Gris mix and this morning after pressing off and a bit of settling, I got a pH of 3.52 and a Brix of 26??? Have you got any numbers?? I added another litre of acidulated
    H2O and an extra 8g of tartaric. I’ll check the pH again prior to pitching the yeast tomorrow.

    they both look good, smell good and I hope stay good. I iced both on arrival home and have ice in the settling buckets as well. Have also sprayed SO2 a few times to make sure acetobachter doesn’t drop in.
