Is the cider ou did hard cider? What starting point g/kg for adjusting tomato juice for sausage?

That was a concentrated fresh (not hard) cider. If you give me a brand of cider or tomato juice I'll titrate them. What store do you shop at, I can look at the online choices and tell you which ones we have here.

I was thinking more of a starting point for an average tomato juice? I'll use that as a starting point and test pH if it doesn't work.

Campbell's V 8 juice

pH initial = 4.3

to pH = 6
0.255 g NaHCO3 / 100 g juice

NaCl = 0.7 %

Thanks Paul. In your opinion would a pH of 4.3 hinder the ability to ferment? I want to make a (rough) 'wine' from commercial fresh tomato juice (no preservatives of any sort), with added sugar, for subsequent conversion to vinegar.

Acetic producing bacteria will not be bothered by that pH and it should keep other bacteria and molds away.

Thanks Paul.

But what of the yeast to create the alcohol before the acetic bacteria are added?
