DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

I went through almost 100 pages and did not see this……

But is anyone using actual acid blend, or individual acids for the DB instead of the lemon juice?

I never have used anything but lemon juice. But wine making is all about having fun and experimenting with different stuff so have fun and give the acid blend or what ever acid you might think will work. I just bottled a batch of 75% Raspberry and 25% Strawberry and even though it's pretty young yet it's pretty darn good.

I used lemon juice as well, then, since the pH was higher than 3.6, I decided to adjust further with citric acid. It worked out well!

This is my first attempt at Dragons Blood and WOW! Not only is this wine beautiful but it may also be the best thing I have tasted that has alcohol in it. I used slightly less lemon juice and compensated with a teaspoon of acid blend. I hear this gets better with age but man it's hard to believe it could get any better.
