daughter is asking what I want for my bday. I have the allinonepump, Ph tester,etc. I don't have an acid tester or a refactometer.. I don't know if an acid tester is worth the trouble. No means to,turn an unused fridge into a storage facility, have plenty of car boys, etc. hence the refactometer. Any suggestions on a model or some other toy I haven't even thought of? I am thinking of the $50-150 range.
New toy option!

my vote is a refractometer with atc (automatic thermal control)

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
For less than $150, you can get a refractometer AND a pH meter.

Far more important is a S02 tester form Vinmetrica but out of price range.

My goodness! Here is one (again, with ATC) for $21 including shipping!

Thanks! I had to pick one up at that price.
I'll see how the refractometer/hydrometer combination is at estimate ABV.

That is the same one I snagged a couple years ago. Paid a few dollars more than that but works great and have not had to adjust it since initial setting.
The A/O Rig from More Wine is more accurate than the Vinemetrica and only cost $99
