how can i measure ph of red?

[jh0330]

Hi,
I am making my first batch of blackberry wine.
I bought myself some indicator paper (i think its litmus paper) didn't bother asking but I realized I totally forgot how to use with coloured solution (if there was one).

how can i measure the ph of my blackberry wine must?


P.S.
I looked in the first 10 pages and couldn't find a thread on how to measure PH.

Buy a digital pH meter.

Agree. Get a meter.

Get a pH meter, or use appropriate pH test strips.

General chemistry pH papers (litmus and others) are not calibrated for buffered solutions like wines, and cannot handle colored solutions.

You need to get a pH meter, or if you don't like ab equipment, you can use th Accuvin pH test strips. These pH strips have a mechanism to remove anthocyanins so the colored substances in your red wines don't interfere with the pH reading.
