Complete acid testing kit for wine including sodium hydroxide solution, acid indicator solution, syringe, test tube and instructions. Grapes and other fruits have varying levels of acidity which requires that the acid content of the juice be checked and adjusted prior to fermentation. A proper acid balance prevents formation of off-flavors, inhibits bacteria and encourages healthy yeast development. This acid test kit instantly measures the acid content in any wine and provides a reading in either percent tartaric acid (US standard) or parts per thousand sulfuric acid (European and British standard).
Acid content is measured by combining a small sample of wine, the acid indicator solution and the reagent solution. Reagent is added to the sample until a color change occurs and the amount of reagent used is calculated to provide the acid content. The wine acid kit provides enough acid test solution and reagent for 50 to 100 tests. Complete instructions are included in the kit which also provide helpful formulas to adjust the acid content of the wine with various additives.

Citric acid is food-grade and can be used in any food and beverage application such as canning, preserving, flavor enhancement, vitamin C supplement and more. It can also be used in home and healthcare applications such as cleaning and personal care products.
Citric acid is an effective additive for improving the flavor and quality of wine. It is generally used for its flavor contributions and other benefits. The crystallized form is easy to work with, measure and add to the wine. It imparts a pleasing fruity and citrusy flavor that brightens the overall flavor of wine and creates a more balanced character. Citric acid also prevents oxidation, inhibits bacterial growth and can be used in white wines to retain a light color. It should be used when making wine from fruits with low concentrations of citric acid including apricots, mangoes, figs, strawberries, peaches and plums.
