Today I racked a Blackberry Rose' (I took the fruit out of a full blackberry primary @ 1.020, added to sugar water and made a small batch of rose",experiment). Obviously it has a low acid level so I added some acid blend. 1 teaspoon per gallon to raise .15% acid.

My question is when I blended the acid blend in a little wine then added to the bulk it fizzed up after a few seconds. Wondered the reasoning why it did that?

Does the addition of acid lower the content of oxygen in a wine?

That would be like a blush. A light inbetween white and red.

This is more of an experiment than anything else. Using the fruit to it's full potential
 
If you made a large acid addition, you caused a large pH swing, which could allow desolved gases to be released.

You prolly released some o2, co2, so2 and such by lowering the pH.
