Wine Acidity Explained
Understand the difference between pH and titratable acidity and why bench trials matter.
Wine Making
Estimate a potassium metabisulfite (K-meta) addition from measured free SO₂ and a chosen target. The result is a starting point, not a safety or microbial-stability guarantee.
Estimate potassium metabisulfite needed for a free-SO₂ target adjustment.
Good to know
No. Molecular SO₂ depends strongly on pH. Use a reputable winemaking reference and measured pH to choose a target.
No. Some binds or is lost. Re-test free SO₂ after the addition and follow the product label.
