    pH values etc

    Ok, so having read the link it seems that I've now got to test too see if the pH value of my winter mead is between 3.0 and 3.5 - well that's if I've read the link correctly.

    We'll see

      Interesting is it not FB. If the pH is to high add some tartaric gradually and test again, if you have to increase the pH use some potassium carbonate solution. Also test the acidity.

        Looks like I've got to rack it first. Adding the voddy etc when I was trying to restart it the other week, seems to have cast a considerable sediment - Hence I think I'll rack it first and then do the pH check on each of the jars - just in case theres any variation.

        Potassium Carbonate for "upping" the numbers ? Right ho, I know what to look for if it does show as too low!

          Yes that is correct; careful with it, a little goes a long way. Once you get started it is hard to stop. Cheers DAW
