Broken Test Tube

[winemaker_3352]

Making my choke cherry wine - got everything going - add in the k-meta last night - this morning added in the pectic, tannin, did acid reading.

Was doing well - then when i was cleaning my equipment - i dropped my acid test tube

Oh well - at least it wasn't my hydrometer!!

Know where to buy test tubes? Online i just see the solution and the syringe sold separately.

check out Ebay

Any supply house should carry them plus what about health stores and craft stores. Somebody has to carry thes for measuring foods and liquids. Maybe a Bed Bath and Beyond. All you need is a clear tube.

Exactly - will try some local stores - if not i know the wine shop i go to has one - i will just have to pick up some items to make it worth the trip

Would these test tubes work?

i dont see why not...

That's what i thought - but wanted to make sure i wasn't missing anything.

Normal test tubes run about 1.87 - these are about a 1.25 and it is close to home .

As long they can take 25ml then its OK

 

[Wade E]

Im not so sure. My hydrometer looks way longer then those tubes.

 

[Runningwolf]

Wade, these were for doing acid tests.

 

[Tom]

I think its the TA test tube he is talking about

 

[Wade E]

That would make sense then and work fine.

 

[winemaker_3352]

Yeah - i was wanting to use them for the Acid Test Tubes.

So i found this on amazon and bought - not a bad deal - at least i didn't think so:

18 - 20ml test tubes
drying rack
tube rack
