tartaric acid

[homer]

The ingredient kit and instructions did not arrive with the frozen juice, I didn't know the instructions were on the Midwest website, I should have studied this Monday, OK let's move on, I didn't put the tartaric acid in when I started the primary Sunday night, should I put it in now? What's it do anyway? bk

I would wait until after fermentation is complete before adjusting your TA.

The instructions "recommend" to stir in the acid first, then the Yeast, I think they have checked the juice for the average TA level, I guess. After fermentation how do I check the TA? bk

Yes - if you have not started fermentation - then you can adjust it. I thought that you had already started fermentation.
