Product Description
Harris Pre-Mixed Acid Blend 100g
The perfect Acid Mix for homebrew wines.Acid Blend is a granulated blend of the three most commonly found fruit acids: citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid.Most wine recipes will only call for citric acid, however this will not produce the best wine.The acid balance of grapes comprises 50% tartaric, 40% malic and 10% citric.
The best acid blends are not equal amounts of the acids, but a formulation of the acids to provide the best end result in a wine.Harris Acid Blend is added directly to a wine or must to raise its acidity level when necessary.
A blend of acids mixed in the right proportions will increase the quality of a finished wine and will be better than just using 1 type of acid.Harris uses a mix that provides the correct acid balance for any wine:
- 45% Tartaric Acid
- 35% Malic Acid
- 20% Citric Acid.What books say about mixed acids:
Progressive Winemaking by Peter Duncan & Bryan Acton.
”Experiments with acid-deficient musts have indicated that neither citric, malic nor tartaric acids on their own provide a perfect acid balance. The best results were in fact achieved with a mixture of these three acids.”
