Still 9g/L
I just measured my cold (32 F) 2008 SB. I used the new acid test kit.
- 32 F 3 gallon carboy:
- 9 g/L
- pH 3.0. This came up a little from 2.9
- It hasn’t really dropped. It has only been 5 days, but I thought that would do something. I will measure the other carboy, that has been in the garage at ~60F.
- Garage temp carboy
- pH 3.0
- Acid: 9 g/L
Seems like the cold stabilization isnt doing anything. I decided to try potassium bicarbonate on the cold carboy:
- 3 gallons = 11.4 L
- 1 g/L of potassium bicarbonate reduces acity approximatley 1 g/L, which is what I want.
- I added 11 g to the carboy. Lots of bubbles produced, which is what is supposed to happen. I will test the wine tomorrow
