Hi, always something to confuse me..
Before pitching yeast on 7-1, I took an acid test, called for 3 tsp. acid blend..
Now today, 7-6, I took another acid test and shows level way high, 1.8%.
Taste is even acidic..
Making 5 gallons but have 6.25 gallons of must to allow for waste.
Beginning SG before yeast was 1.104, today 7-6 SG is 1.022
Should I add calcium carbide to bring acid level down a little, heard that to much can cause a chalky taste...
Thanks, your always there to help, and I really appreciate it alot..
