Why This Complete Wine Kit?
Wine testing requires specialized electrode care due to the unique chemistry of wine samples—tannins, organic acids, and alcohol can affect electrode performance. This comprehensive wine starter kit includes all five essential solutions: pH 4.01 and pH 7.01 for two-point calibration (critical for accurate wine pH measurement), cleaning solution to remove wine-specific deposits, storage solution to keep electrodes hydrated between tastings, and 3.5M KCl electrolyte to refill refillable electrodes. Purchasing the complete wine kit saves money versus buying individual bottles and ensures you have everything needed for optimal wine pH testing.
How to Use:
Calibration: Use MA9004 (pH 4.01) and MA9007 (pH 7.01) for two-point calibration following your meter's instructions. Wine pH typically ranges from 3.0-4.0, making pH 4.01 the critical calibration point.
Cleaning: Use MA9016 cleaning solution to remove wine deposits, tannins, and organic acids from the pH electrode. Soak probe for 15-20 minutes after wine testing, then rinse with distilled water.
Storage: Store pH electrode in MA9015 storage solution when not in use. Never store in distilled water or wine—this damages the electrode and reduces accuracy.
Electrolyte Refilling: For refillable pH electrodes, use MA9011 3.5M KCl electrolyte solution to replenish the reference electrolyte. Check electrolyte level regularly and refill as needed to maintain optimal electrode performance.
Wine pH Testing Best Practices:
Wine pH is critical for wine stability, microbial control, color, and aging potential. Optimal wine pH ranges from 3.0-4.0 depending on wine type. Calibrate your pH meter at two points (pH 4.01 and pH 7.01) before testing. Clean the electrode after each wine sample to prevent tannin buildup. Store properly between uses to maintain electrode hydration and accuracy.
Storage & Handling:
Store bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep bottles tightly sealed when not in use. Do not use solutions past expiration date. For best accuracy, allow solutions to reach room temperature (25°C/77°F) before use.
Note: This wine starter kit is specifically designed for wine applications and MW102 Wine Kit. For general pH testing, consider Milwaukee's standard pH calibration kits. Do not contaminate solutions by dipping used probes directly into bottles—always pour into a separate container.
