We recently received a long awaited for shipment. Actually, we ordered this Vinmetrica SC-300 Pro before our harvest on September 26, 2015 intending to use it when harvest time came. Unbeknownst to us, the company was moving their operation and somehow, our order got lost in cyberspace.
The nice thing about this kit is that it will do pH, titratable acidity, as well as free and total SO2 measurements. All of the reagents are included. The kit also comes with a stand, stir bar and a mini-stir plate as shown in this picture on the left.
Our fermentation has been going now since September 29th and we have taken 3 Brix readings. Our latest reading was taken on October 13th and we had a Brix reading of 9! Since we have to open the keg to take the reading, and since we know that the rate is about 1 oBrix a day, we have decided not to open the keg until our nitrogen gas arrives, crossing fingers, on Monday, October 19th.
