Okay yes I know which one variety that is have a great Thanksgiving

This is great. Question when you say Muscat are you talking about the green grape moscato or something different? Where did you get the chateanau du pape? I’m guessing a kit?

Where’s the thumbs up button

Okay I will take your advice ajmassa and stickman I think it will be just fine at these levels. Thanks for the good advice.

Chromatography test completed on 3 of the 6 vessels. I have never did this Mlf or chromatography so first time from what I read I still have some time to go but it’s working. This is a little over 2 weeks. Also, TA test shows it’s at 5.5 so I added another 30 grams last night my goal is to...

Taste test was good ph is now 3.92 I did my first ever Chromotography test will post later tommorrow and hope To test ta also will be posting those numbers as well.

I will post once I do another test.

So I added only 82grams of tartaric acid to the wine I have it in different size containers so I proportionately added it. One thing I noticed which I find interesting is when I took a small sample and added the tartaric to it to dissolve it the wine changed color it went from a deeper red/...

Ajmassa5983 I sent you a pm.

Okay that what I’m going to try thanks

Thanks John D. What is the method used for degassing a sample?

Thanks that might be it. I was frustrated and dumped it out I did realize there was sediment on the bottom I’m thinking that maybe this is what happened. I’m currently running MLF on my wine once that is done would I still be able to test the acid and ph or will it be useless to know at that...

Thanks anyway

So tried taking an acid test TA. Since I didn’t have my testing kit at the time I crushed the grapes I took some of the must and put it into a bottle in the freezer. I thawed it out and used that. For some reason it’s not working out. The instructions say to take 5ml of wine add to the beaker...

Thanks again I can see that being the case I have pushed the one on the right in on more than one occasion :(
