Winemaking Testing Supplies

Winemaking is a science, however it is a fairly simple science once you get the hang of it. At Grape and Granary we believe anyone can make their own wine from home, and we aim to supply you with all of the equipment, ingredients, supplies, and information you need to make a great tasting wine.

The most important instuments to have are a wine hydrometer and an acid testing kit. If you are making wine from a wine kit or a fruit base, you will only need a wine hydrometer as kits and bases are already adjusted for acid. However, if you are making wine from your own fresh grapes or fruit, you will want a acid test kit.

The hydromenter will allow you to control the alcohol content and monitor the fermentation process and the acid test kit will allow you to make sure your wine does not end up too low in acid making the wine taste flat and bland or over acidic and harsh and tart.

You can watch a video of an acid titration here.
