Default Pomegranate Wine update

First racking -- 1/7/7 -- 0.996SG, 0.8TA(*), 74F.

Tastes like alcoholic pomegranate juice, albeit a bit harsh. Very dry --
will need sweetening before bottling.

I wish there was a better way of determining TA than the titration kit and
its sparse instruction sheet. I ran the test with distilled water buffering
and as a straight sample, since the red product is neither white nor grape
in color. What I need, is to observe an experienced person demonstrating the
titration to me. Alas...., lots of beer brewers and one cider entushiast,
but no wine makers besides me in the whole valley.
