This question gets increasingly complicated.
I often end up with wines that have pH's that are either too high or too low, and the best solution is to blend the two. My question is how to predict the resultant pH. Obviously, pH is a log function, so blending equal parts of wines with pH's of 3 and 4 DOESN'T produce a wine with a pH of 3.5. A wine with a pH of 3 has 10 times the concentration of H+ ions than a pH of 4. Does anyone know of an equation to predict a resultant pH of a blended wine the following 4 variables: X = volume of wine with pH of A Y = volume of wine with pH of B My goal is to work backwards and aim for a specific pH, knowing the pH's of the original components and then calculating the necessary volumes of the two components. While bench trials are another solution, there should be some science to predict the results. Thanks for your help, Lee |
