Joy Ting

After Brix and pH, titratable acidity is the next most common measurement taken at harvest. Yet, there are a few barriers to making the most of this measurement. Instead of a video, here are three resources to help you measure and interpret TA data.

If you need a step-by-step protocol to follow, click here. The protocol includes clear instructions as well as answers to some frequently asked questions about TA.

If you want to fine-tune your own TA measurements, or want to understand how variable these measures can be, watch the video of Dr. Patricia Howe explaining error in TA testing for the Virginia Wineries Association.

If you have measured TA but are wondering what the result means, check out this guide to interpreting TA results.
