No thanks, the brix meter is easy, I can tell how acidic the fruits are.
Ok, after thinking about it, I should buy some strips for tasting acidity in the future, good suggestion.

No worries either way. I only suggested because you can get a cheap ph meter for less than $20 and strips are even cheaper. I noticed G(virginia fruit grower) started doing it while he tastes his fruit which inspired me to pull mine out from sitting in storage that I used for hydroponic nutrients.

Thanks for sharing your fruit info

Can you buy the ph meter on Amazon?

Sorry just now seeing this. Yes there's tons of ph meters on amazon. They range in price from very cheap to expensive. Cheap ones work just fine. I would recommend finding one with a circular tip so you can do the reading in a shot glass and not need as much liquid for a test. The square tip ones are harder to find a small glass to fit into.

I did buy one, thanks. I'm now recording all my fruit taste test with brix & ph readings. It is handy for why some with same brix isn't as sweet tasting due to the acid.
