Tartaric acid to add: grams per volume

Basic info: 1.9 grams (1/4 teaspoon) of tartaric acid per gallon will raise the acid approximately .05%. The recommendation of less acid blend is based on the use of citric acid in these blends. Citric acid will not be reduced by cold stabilization in case of overdose.
