Description

Wine pH test strips are used to test the pH of the juice prior to fermentation, but can also be used to test the pH of kombucha tea. To reduce the color effect on the test strip when testing red wine, use activated carbon (like that used in aquarium filters) to help take the color out of the solution sample.

The strip may also be tested for efficacy by dipping it into a solution of one cup of water and one capful of vinegar.

 

  • Vial of 100 plastic test strips with an easy to read, vibrant color chart
  • Great for testing wine or kombucha with ease
  • No messy chemicals, reagents, or calibration of strips necessary
  • DO NOT USE for testing red wine or other solutions with a lot of color pigments present. The color of the wine will cause interference with the test.
  • Provides accurate results for anything in the pH range of 2.8-4.4

Instructions:

  1. Remove one test strip from the vial.
  2. Dip the test pad into the solution being tested for 1-2 seconds.
  3. Remove the test strip and compare against the color chart within 10-15 seconds. Do not let the test pad dry before reading against the color chart.

THIS STRIP IS NOT INTENDED FOR RED WINES. If you would like to test red wines you need to use an activated carbon filter to remove the red pigments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the pH of wine?

the pH of wine typically falls within the range of 3.2 to 3.6. This range is ideal for most wines, though the specific pH can vary depending on the type of wine. White wines are generally more acidic and tend to have a lower pH, closer to 3.2. Red wines tend to have a slightly higher pH, closer to 3.4-3.6. Sweet or dessert wines usually have the highest pH within this range, as they are less acidic. The pH of wine is important for both its stability and its taste. If the pH is too low (too acidic), the wine can taste sharp or sour. If it’s too high (less acidic), the wine can taste flat or insipid.

Can this strip be used to measure Total acidity in wine?

No, the test strip cannot measure Total Acidity (TA) in wine. It measures pH, which indicates the strength of acidity (hydrogen ion concentration). TA, on the other hand, measures the total amount of acid in the wine, including acids that aren’t actively contributing to the pH. To measure TA, a different method, such as the Accuvin TA test or titration is required.
