Description
Measuring and adjusting acid levels and the pH of your wine is an important skill as a winemaker. Mother nature doesn’t always cooperate so you need to know how to tweak the numbers to produce the best wine you can produce. Learn when and how to test and measure both acid and pH levels in your wine and then the techniques best suited to raise or lower the numbers.
