Effect of temperature in TA Test kits

[JohnT]

Does anyone have an opinion on weather changes in the temperature of test chemicals will effect the outcome of TA acid tests?

My opinion is that small variations don't matter enough to be concerned about. Mine are all used in a steady temp area though. My "winery" stays at 68F +/-1 ...

Sounds like an experiment coming on.

I'm not sure if I'm answering your question direct or not but I just read its important that all your chemicals and must sample are all the same temperature, preferably room temperature or you'll get false readings. This includes having chemicals at room temperature when calibrating your ph meter. I found this interesting because when I was at winery this fall in the lab the owner was getting ready to do some testing and he had everything sitting out on the counter to get acclimated to the room temp.
