Tartaric Acid is the most commonly used acid for adjusting acidity in wine making. It plays a crucial role in flavor, fermentation performance, and wine stability. To use, first test your must or juice using an acid testing kit, and then add tartaric acid as needed. Each teaspoon will raise the titratable acidity by approximately 0.1% per gallon. This pure, food-grade acid is easy to use and helps ensure a well-balanced finished wine.
