I have a winery in NE Ohio and I have to source my fruit.
I have an opportunity to go pick for ourselves.
The fruit is not ripe in my opinion and need advise
Pinot Gris is 18 brix 3.05 ph
Chardonnay 18-19 brix 3.03 ph
Cab Franc 18-19 brix ph 3.25
The temp here will be mostly sunny highs in the 70's lows in the 50's for the next week
If I wait a week will I pick up a brix or so? two weeks?
 
From what I’ve read and experienced about 1 Brix per week with good weather, taste the grapes and see if the seeds are turning brown, the grapes my be ripe and you will have to add sugar.
