I a struggling with this PH thing.
I do not make wine from grapes because grapes don't grow here in Alaska and it costs a small fortune to have them shipped in. I am comfortable adjusting acidity in light wines using an acid test kit. I bought a PH meter to help with SO adjustments and acid adjustments in darker wines. I tested a wine made from Pomegranate Juice today… The PH is 3.4 but the wine is so acid that it is undrinkable. As I understand from reading 3.4 is a pretty darn good PH. The wine needs to have about one third of it volume of H2O added to bring the acidity down (determined by taste) but that will have a major effect on PH. So… What should I look for with fruit/veggie wines? Is a PH meter a useful tool? Where can I find references that discuss other than grape wines? Thanks, A. J.
