Wine Making / Wine Testing Equipment |
Quality wine doesn't happen by chance. To make wine from your own fruit, it requires careful testing of sugar levels, alcohol, acid etc to obtain consistant results. Homebrew Heaven considers an hydrometer as ESSENTIAL for home winemaking.
Accuvin L-Lactic Acid Test Kit
-- $19.95
-- The L-Lactic Acid Kit is intended for measuring the L-lactic acid in wines to ensure that malolactic fermentation has begun.
Accuvin Ph Test Kit
-- $11.95
-- pH Quick Tests - Making pH Monitoring Efficient for Everyone
Accuvin Residual Sugar Test Kit
-- $13.95
-- Used to estimate the amount of sugar left in your wine AFTER fermentation. The ACCUVIN Residual Sugar Kit tests only for fructose and glucose sugars, the sugars reduced in primary fermentation. The test range is 100 - 2,000 mg/L.
Acid Test Kit - Titration
-- $10.50
-- The flavor of the wine has to be balanced. If there is too much acid the wine will be puckering and sour. If there is too little acid, the wine will taste flat and insipid, what wine writers like to call 'flabby'. (Click for details & instructions)
Acid Test Paper for Wine
-- $5.25
-- 100 pH test strips. Specially for wines. Test range is pH 2.8 - 4.4 Proper acidity in a wine is of the utmost importance. . Wine low in acidity is most always flat, medicinal, and insipid. Wine that is overly acidic is usually tart. Measure your pH!
Digital pH Meter
-- $69.95
-- Electronic pH meter. Easy to read and use. Proper acidity in a wine is of the utmost importance. . Wine low in acidity is most always flat, medicinal, and insipid. Wine that is overly acidic is usually tart. **Requires calibrating solution**
Hydrometer Test Jar
-- $6.50
-- Float your hydrometer in it. Allows accurate sighting of readings. Clear plastic with base. Inside Dia. 1 3/8" X 10" tall
Hydrometer, Triple Scale
-- $7.50
-- Used for determining gravity and alcohol levels. Tells when it's safe to bottle. Three easy to read scales marked in SG from .990-1.170 in .002 increments.It's also important to have a hydrometer if you call us at Homebrew Heaven with a question.
Indicator Solution

Vinometer
-- $5.25
-- A vinometer is used to measure alcohol in finished wines. If you didn't take your original gravity reading on your beer or wine, you can give it a try. The trouble with vinometers is that they're not very accurate and only really work in a narrow range .
Wine (Sugar Scale) Hydrometer
-- $8.95
-- This hydrometer indicates how much sugar is necessary to add to achive a given alcohol percentage (for 5 gallon batches). At the end of fermentation, it also measures alcohol percentage, from 2 to 20%.Very handy for winemaking.
