Alcohol & Test Kits
Testing is how you stop guessing. Once a ferment is running, the two numbers that tell you the most are pH and acidity, and both are cheap to measure next to the cost of tipping out a batch that went sideways on you.
Most of what sits here is the gear for taking those readings. For pH there is the Kegland PH Meter BD pen at 0.01 resolution, plus papers if you would rather not own a probe, so Ph Paper 100 pk across 0 to 14, Ph test Paper 3.8 to 5.4, and the PEHANON papers from Germany in 2.8 to 4.6 and 5.2 to 6.8 for wine and cider ranges. Meters need looking after, so Buffer PH 4.01 Red and Buffer PH 7.01 Green for calibration, KCI 3 Mol/L storage solution and pH Probe Cleaning Solution sit alongside them, with replacement probes for the BD series and the sx620 pocket meter. For acid, the Accuvin test kits from the USA come in ten packs, one for Malic Acid determination and one for TA titratable acidity in cider. There is also an Enartis Wine Fermentation Starter Kit with yeast included.
Calibrate before each session, not each month. It takes two minutes, and an uncalibrated meter is worse than no meter because you will believe what it tells you.
Both shops, Laverton North and Epping, can walk you through it. See also Ph Meters & PH Strips, Hydrometers & Refractometers and Refractometers & Testing.

Making wine could have not gotten any simpler. Wheather you're making white or red, we have got you covered.
Simply choose from the following drop down menus the amount of boxes you're doing and if it is either red or white wine. They come in packs for 10, 20 or for 40 boxes of grapes, just choose the amount you need and start creating wonderfully tasty wine.
These wine kits are made up for 10, 20, or 40 boxes of grapes, either red or white.
The kits include:
Potassium Metabisulphite: Which is added on day 1 to get rid of any wild fermentation.
Wine Enzyme: Is used to increase the juice yield and clarity of the ferment.
Wine Yeast: is the yeast that is used in the fermentation stage of winemaking.
Yeast Nutrient (DAP): Diammonium Phosphate - which is the grape fermentation aid.
These kits are made up for the wine-making process, if you need any further information about this please check out our Blogs on wine-making.
If you are choosing to ship, it is recommended for this product to travel with an Ice Pack. Sold separately.
Maintaining a stable pH or hydrogen ion concentration is crucial to obtaining a good yield from fermentation. The solution is available in red or green.
pH7 is ideal for those requiring an accurate neutral reading, particularly those working in water purification, the food industry, the medical industry, aquatics and hydroponics or wherever the pH is expected to be neutral.
The pH of juice or wine is important to know as it plays a critical role in many aspects of winemaking, in particular wine stability.
Buffer solutions should be stored at 25C and away from direct sunlight for accurate readings.
Available in 100 and 500ml bottles. And special order available of a 20lt drum
Top-quality and stable pH buffer used for pH probe calibration and quality control checks throughout pH analysis.
The ideal pH range for a nutrient solution is typically between 5.8 and 6.5. A pH value above or below this range can increase the likelihood of some nutrients becoming unavailable to the plant.
Some electronic meters require a "two-point" calibration, making pH Buffer 4 an important step as the lower calibration point in the two-point calibration process. This solution will ensure that meters accurately reflect the true reading at the lower end of the range.
Available in 100 and 500ml bottles, and special order of a 20lt drum on request.
The pH of juice or wine is important to know as it plays a critical role in many aspects of winemaking, in particular wine stability.
Buffer solutions should be stored at 25C and away from direct sunlight for accurate readings.
How to use:
- Pour some of the solution into a clean container, enough to cover the probe.
- Clean and sanitize the pH probe
- Insert the probe to the solution
- For Auto calibration meters, just press the pH4 button on your meter.
- For manual calibration meters, you will need to manually adjust the pH reading to 4.
- Please check your pH meter manual for more information on how to calibrate your meter.

Easy, fast and reliable indication of PH.
Dip straight into sample and wait 10 seconds for the colour change.
Code: 129316
Easy, reliable and fast indication of pH. Simply dip into sample and wait 10 seconds for the colour to change.
These are narrow range strips to test pH between 3.8 and 5.4
$79.90 AUD
This PH meter has many advantages features:
- This unit is water resistant and splashproof. Most of the user will drop this unit into a lot of sanitaser and liquid samples.
- Digital Triple Point Calibration: To suit the needs of accuracy this PH meter has got triple point calibration. The calibration is completely digital and can be done in 60 seconds. Just put the pH meter into the buffer solution that comes included and then hit the calibration button. It's as simple as that.
- Replaceable Electrode: Artisanal productions of liquids puts a lot of stress on the electrodes. Especially if you are testing hot liquids. For PH meters the electrodes are not difficult to damage in an artisanal environment and they have a tendency to fail over time. As a result, you can't replace the electrode. This pH meter has a replaceable electrode so you can just remove it and put on a new one if you damage it.
- Includes 3 packs buffer solution. Just add water and store in a glass jam jar and the buffer solution will last
- Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): This additional feature means the probe needs to have a small temp probe at the end so it can compensate for high or low temperatures.
- Water Proof Cap: The main reason why pH meters start to fail over time is they are incorrectly stored. If your pH meter is left with a dry probe the KCL solution evapourates through the glass membrane. This significantly will affect your results. The cap on our pH meter has an o-ring and is a water tight seal. It's amazing how many pH meters don't have this basic function meaning your probe gets destroyed very quickly and you are back to purchase another unit. To keep your electrode in the best possible solution we recommend you clean with water then store in KCL storage solution inside the cap then push the cap on tight so it seals it up. This will keep your readings accurate for ages.
This awesome pH meter is now available for you, get it now!!! One of the best value PH meter in the market.
pH indicator paper from Pehanon in Germany, covering the 2.8 to 4.6 range, sold as a pack of 5 strips. That narrow band is the part of the scale winemakers and brewers care about most, which is why this one turns up on so many bench lists instead of a broad range paper. We stock it for home producers keeping a small lab tidy and for anyone topping up a testing kit. Refer to the packaging and to Pehanon's own instructions for the product. We keep it on the shelf at both Laverton North and Epping.
$7.50 AUD
Reliable pH test strips designed for quick, accurate readings within the 5.2–6.8 range. Ideal for winemaking, brewing, fermenting, and food production, these easy‑to‑use strips provide clear colour changes for fast pH checks during processing. Perfect for small batches or on‑the‑go testing.
In order to keep your Bluelab pH pen as accurate as possible, you will need to calibrate using three of our pH buffer solutions.
This buffer powder pack is used for calibrating Bluelab pH Pen
To calibrate the - Pen Style pH Meter you will instead require - Buffer Powders (4.00/6.86/9.18).
We would strongly recommend if you haven't used your pH meter in a while to always use a buffer solution before you start your brew.
If you do not have any Storage Solution, we would also highly recommend you use this solution for storage after every use.
Directions for use:
1. Completely empty the powder into a clean 250mL glass beaker.
2. Add 250mL of deinoized water to the beaker.
3. Stir until the powder has completely dissolved.
pH solution is accurate to (+/-) 0.01pH
$8.90 AUD
This KCL storage solution is the best way to keep your electrode from your PH meter from deteriorating over time. If you want to continue to get accurate readings always keep some storage solution in the cap.
$26.90 AUD
A replacement electrode probe for the BD series pH meter, so you can keep taking accurate readings once the old probe wears out. Good pH control makes for better mashes, cleaner ferments and tastier beer, and a fresh probe keeps your numbers honest. An easy swap to keep your meter reliable.
$99.00 AUD
A replacement probe for the sx620 pocket pH meter, hand held model. Probes are consumables and a drifting or slow reading usually means the probe rather than the meter.
