However the New cider makers handbook provides quite a bit of good basis for the use of .89 as the multiplier to convert from tartaric acid to malic. I doubt either sources are mistaken. The chances are much greater that I am mistaken. Could somebody please point this out or otherwise provide some guidance on the accurate method.

From: "Charles McGonegal" Date: Tue, 16 May 2017 09:48:18 -0500 Gloria, what's your fireblight pressure like? I've had some awfully good Yarlington Mill ciders from the Great Lakes region - but the grower has given up on Yarlington Mill due to fireblight susceptibility.. Dabinett is a good workhorse cider apple in my collection. Decent yield. Bears relatively young. Not too much alternation. Okay tannins and aroma - a good base apple.
