Ph is 2.8.

I have an electronic ph meter. I should just check it instead of guessing. Maybe I can figure out how much water I'll need to add to raise it. Than adjust the tannins etc accordingly

It was an error. Last time I added the last bottle after it was active

Yes, I'm going to give it a few days to see if it kicks off. If it doesn't I might try to play or just start over. It's cheap enough

I havent tasted it since I added the sulfites. Taste some before. Ill check it again in April. Thanks!!

Does anyone know what the dosing is in the stabilization pack that come with Fwk? I'm trying to see what my sulfite levels are. I may have over sulfited I've added the packet, racked shortly after to get off lees and added 1/16tsp. Few months later racked and added 1/4tsp than racked yesterday...

Just racked and filtered my fwk petite syrah. Its a forte kit. I fermented it in April. I'm excited to taste it again in another few months. Right now I really like it. It definitely needs to mellow a few more months though.

Exactly, hahahha. I meant to drink my petite syrah but instead drank my cab.
