Acid Way too High

[Wade Sparks]

Hello,
I started on my 2nd batch of blueberry and blackberry wine and wanted to up my game so I purchased a acid test kit. Apparently I am slightly color blind (the wife agrees) and I completely misread the color changes and I added 3.2 oz of acid blend to increase my acid content of my blueberry wine. This all felt off, so I bought a milwaukee PH56 meter. After calibration I added 15ml of wine to a glass and starting with a PH of 2.64 it took 36 ml of sodium Hydroxide to bring it to a PH of 8.2. So per the calculations 36*1.6 gives 57.6 ppt sulfuric and 36*.25 gives 9.00 Tartaric. Needless to say the wine tastes very sulfuric. Is there any help for this wine?

At which step in the process are you? e.g., still in the primary fermenter? 3rd racking?

How much wine are you making, e.g., 1 or 5 gallons?

Approximately how many tsp is 3.2 oz for the acid blend you are using?

Ditch the test kit! Add acid blend to taste. Done!

PS 1 tsp per gal is enough for most!
