Fresh Juice Update

As I reported a few days ago, picked up some Baco must that had already fermented. The winery, Lakeview Cellars did the right thing for me, and offered me a credit or a refund. I chose the credit toward the Reisling I had ordered. They also let me have more Reisling even though it is in short supply, and others who ordered much more than I will not get their full order.



So kudos to Lakeview for that.



So I picked up the Reisling - the vineyard reports 19.0 Brix, 10.5 grams/litre acid, and ph of 2.65.



My own SG reading is 1.082.



Is the acid a little on the too high side? Anything else you professional home winemakers notice that I should be aware of?



Thanks!



Ian


It seems a bit high to me....

Did you check it yourself?

No. As yet, I have no equipment to check acid or ph levels. Any recommendations?
