PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Q	Gopal (Hazlehurst, MS) How often will recalibration be required?
A	CustomerService@ECKraus.com Recalibration is only necessary about once a year.

Q	Doyle (Lindsay, OK) Regarding your digital pH meter (PH410) -- will this meter take the place of the acid testing kit? In other words, will this meter take readings in preparing must?
A	CustomerService@ECKraus.com You can use this for taking readings of your must, but it is not the same reading as the acid test kit. pH measures all the acids in a wine. The acid test kit tests the tasteable acids of a wine. The two measures are not comparable and cannot be converted into one another.

Q	Emily (Clinton, MO) What kind of probe does your digital hand held pH meter have?
A	CustomerService@ECKraus.com The sensing electrode is a small little bulb, similar to a light bulb.

Bill (Oostburg, WI)
I purchased a PH meter from you so I could check the acid in the wine I make from grapes I grow here on James Island, SC. The catalog said the meter would come with full instructions,yes it did for operation of the meter, but not what readings I should look for in my wine. Some of the things I have read give the acid content in percentages. Am I right in converting PH readings to percent that PH 7 would be 0%, PH 3.5 would be 50%, and PH 0 would be 100%? What is the best PH reading for wine?

CustomerService@ECKraus.com
When the acid content is given in percentages, it is testing all of the tasteable acids. Whereas the pH tests all of the total acids. Therefore, you cannot convert pH readings into percentages. You are looking for a reading in between 3.8 to 3.4 pH.
