Description
Acid Blend – For use in Wine and Cider
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.
For best results always use Acid Blend as a direct substitute for citric acid mentioned in recipes.
Mix ratio
We use 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 or tartaric acids on their own provide a perfect acid balance. The best results were in fact achieved with a mixture of these three acids.”
