Hanna HI981033 Foodcare Wine pH Tester

Hanna HI981033 Foodcare Wine pH Tester

The Hanna HI981033 Foodcare Wine pH Tester is a compact, waterproof digital meter specifically engineered for pH measurement in wine, grape juice, and must. Featuring a built-in probe designed for low conductivity and colored samples, this tester provides winemakers with accurate, reliable pH readings throughout fermentation, aging, and bottling.

Features

• Specialized for Wine pH Testing
  The built-in electrode is designed for low-conductivity, high-acid environments found in wine production. As a result, it performs reliably even in dark or cloudy samples like red wine, must, or lees.

• Precision Readings for Fermentation and Aging
  Offers 0.01 pH resolution with ±0.05 pH accuracy at 25°C, helping winemakers make informed decisions at every stage of the process. Therefore, it’s an ideal tool for achieving consistent quality and compliance with winemaking standards.

• Automatic One- or Two-Point Calibration
  Supports calibration using standard buffer solutions at pH 4.01, 7.01, or 10.01. Moreover, automatic calibration ensures long-term accuracy without complex setup, especially useful in high-volume production.

• Waterproof and Built for Cellar Use
  Rated IP67, the HI981033 is rugged and waterproof, allowing it to function in humid wine cellars and during cleanup. Consequently, it’s a practical everyday tool for any winemaker or cellar technician.

• Energy-Efficient with Smart Auto-Off
  Operates for up to 1,000 hours on a CR2032 lithium-ion battery, with an auto-off setting configurable at 8 minutes, 60 minutes, or disabled. This makes it ideal for long work shifts or high-frequency testing environments.

• Lightweight, Portable, and Ergonomic
  Weighing just 46 g, the slim, handheld design fits comfortably in your pocket or apron. Thus, it’s convenient for spot checks across production lines, tanks, or tasting rooms.

Applications

• Winemaking and Fermentation Monitoring
  Track pH changes during fermentation to evaluate microbial activity and acid balance. As such, it plays a vital role in preserving wine stability and sensory profile.

• Grape Juice and Must Testing
  Measure pH before fermentation to determine acid adjustments or when blending musts for different varietals.

• Wine Aging and Bottling
  Verify that finished wines remain within ideal pH ranges to prevent spoilage, oxidation, or bottle instability.

• Quality Control in Cellars and Labs
  A practical solution for routine testing during lab analysis or barrel sampling. Moreover, its portability makes it perfect for use across multiple production zones.

• Educational Use in Oenology
  A great learning tool for wine schools, training centers, and viticulture programs that need hands-on, real-time testing in the classroom or vineyard.
