USE IT!

You can purchase (or make) a number of different types of clamps that work well to hold various types of test tubes, pipettes, burettes, pH meter probes, and so on. You should have at least two of these clamps, and a third could be useful.

Malic Acid

Malic acid is one of a number of acids commonly found in grapes. It produces a crisp “green apple” flavor, and depending on your style of wine, this may not be desirable. Winemakers frequently inoculate their wines with malolactic bacteria to ferment this malic acid, which converts it to a smoother, almost buttery-tasting lactic acid. When the fermentation appears to be complete, it’s time to test for malic acid to confirm the process is complete before adding potassium metabisulfite to protect the wine.
