For the determination of sulfite in wine. ***NOT FOR USE WITH RED WINES THAT CONTAIN TANNIN*** From CHEMetrics, this test kit contains 10 ampules (titrets) that are used as a screening method throughout the wine making industry. Results are expressed as free SO2 (sulfur dioxide), from 10-100 ppm. Requires one ampule per test. A titret holder is required to use this equipment. Sulphites are your friend. Not only do they keep wine from developing infections like film yeast, mold, and acetobacter (vinegar bacteria), they also keep the wine from oxidizing. Without the use of sulphites, you have to be terrifically careful to keep all of your equipment very sanitary, and you still have to drink your wine up as quickly as possible before it spoiled. If you are concerned about the use of sulphites in wine or other food products get a copy of our handout 'Sulphite Facts'. The sulphite testing kits we sell measure the amount of free sulfur dioxide in a solution. Depending on the pH of the wine being tested, the free sulfur dioxide level should be between 35 and 50 parts per million (PPM). At 100 to 200 PPM sulphites start to be noticeable as a sulfury odour that can almost catch in the back of your throat. Some people, women in particular, have a better sense of smell and can detect it in slightly lower amounts. Testing is important because you should know the level of sulphites before you bottle your wine Too little and the wine might spoil; too much and the taste will be bad. If you are used to putting in the half teaspoon of sulphite per 5 gallons of wine maybe you won't want to bother with the testing kit. However, if you want to take greater control over the quality of your home made wine, this kit is an effective and easy start.
