Lib, You got these numbers Ben?
The pH’s look familiar (3.5 for my current 100% Peach and 3.3 for my current 100% Raspberry, for example). But those Blueberry and Raspberry acidities are looking low! You are talking in terms of tartaric acid right? (4 g/l as sulphuric I can understand, but 4 g/l as tartaric is quite low.) Even when I have really ripe fruit I get higher acidities than that (admittedly raspberries are particularly high in acid but my current 100% is at about 11.8 g/l without any efforts to deacidify, pure fruit juice was at SG 1040 or ~10.4 Brix). How ripe is your fruit (out of interest)?

culture I got all my fruit wines fermenting now. Im gonna share some wealth with you fruit winemakers. No need for bananas here; and acidity is pleasent. Actually had to add tartaric to all 3 fruits. The following fruits do not need to be blended with water to make a good wine.

I had no idea that "Red Raspberry Wine" was made with "100% strawberries"! No wonder all my attempts to make red raspberry wine turned out poorly.
