Suggestions for a newbies wine makers test kit

Yettiman · Aug 24, 2016

Hi,

I am looking to start making wine, my grapes should be ready in a few weeks.

Looking for suggestions for putting together a test kit.

My thoughts are:

- Brix Refractometer for testing sugars in the vine yard
- Hydrometer for testing the must (before during & after fermentation)
- Acidity titration kit
- PH meter

Do I need anything else as a beginner?

Thank you for any suggestions

You've got it covered. Just make sure you have a 'container' of sorts to place the samples in when using the hydrometer. A wine thief like this one does the trick.

I suggest a second hydrometer because gravity.
