I also want to gauge interest in laboratory analysis and sensory evaluation services for home winemakers. Services would include, for example, measurement of keys parameters such as TA, pH, free and total SO2, subjective sensory evaluation, assessing faults or spoilage, and actionable recommendations to improve your wine.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers, Daniel Pambianchi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings to all home winemaking\u00a0enthusiasts!
