Testing equipment

[user 31015]

Hi there. The LHBS has bugger all in the way of testing equipment - a pretty poor pH testing strip thing is all there is. Can some folks link me to the sort of testing equipment I need for wine making? I'll be visiting Washington D.C soon and so could pick up some bits and bobs when I'm over in the US.

SO2 test: Some have found the following to be a little hard to use, but I found once I got used to them, they work great..

If you'll be in Virginia, "My Local Home Brew Shop" is in Falls Church - just a handful of miles west of the City.

My LBHS is a great place

I agree with the items John pointed out except for the S02 Test kit. It is inaccurate but better than nothing at all.I would seriously look at the Vinmetrica 100. The Vinmetrica 300 will test for S02, TA and ph.
