100g pot of Acid Blend 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. This is a mix that provides the correct acid balance for any wine: - 45% Tartaric Acid - 35% Malic Acid - 20% Citric Acid. 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. 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." Packaging: Stand up resealable pouch.
