Hi all
I have just joined this thread and as my own experiment had come up with a Wine number 1 with 2 litres of white supermarket juice to make up to 1 gallon.
Except with mine I measured the acid and come up with 3.3ppt so I added half a 'Berrys' acid mix 1part citric 2 parst Malic and three parts Tartaic.
I believed this wiould balance the acid and balance the sugars as you described having tested the juice.
I also added 1 teaspoon of Pectolace.
Can you comment on what effect this may have apart from costing a lot by comparison to 1 teaspoon of citric acid.
I also have a red on the go where I did the same but used 4 cartons of juice to keep the colour and one I have just done with 2 catrons red with the intention of getting a Rose.
I had also boiled the juice first as I had seen C J Berrys recipe for Ribena wine.
