I am making a five gallon bacth of blueberry wine. I callibrated my meter
and measured the must and got a PH of 2.8? That seemed really low but I measured it twice. If I am thinking clearly the is too low and I need to bring the number up. I have calcium carbonate that I can use. The question is how much should I add? |

I wouldn't do anything before fermentation is done. Ferment it then
taste it and see what it needs. What yeast are you using?? If you use Premier Cuvee it'll ferment clean because the only organisms that will be thriving in such a low pH environment will be the yeast that you have added. After the fermentation is done and the wine is de-gassed , then you can adjust the acid levels. Bob wrote: > I am making a five gallon bacth of blueberry wine.
