I purchased these pH Test Strips to monitor the pH levels of my homemade fermented hot sauce, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Here’s why these test strips are a great choice:Accurate Readings: The 0.5 interval readings provide precise and accurate pH measurements, which is crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of my fermented hot sauce.Easy to Use: The strips are straightforward to use. Just dip a strip into the hot sauce, compare the color change to the chart, and get an instant pH reading. No hassle, no mess.Reliable Performance: I’ve been using these strips consistently, and they have provided reliable results every time. They help me maintain the perfect acidity level for my hot sauce.Versatile: While they’re designed for kombucha, these strips work perfectly for any fermented product. I’ve even used them to test other homemade ferments with equally great results.Overall, these pH Test Strips have been an essential tool in my fermentation process. They offer accuracy, ease of use, and excellent value, making them perfect for anyone serious about their home fermentation projects.

These test trips are easy to use and affordable. I use them to test the pH in homemade kombucha and they work perfectly! The strips are a good quality to dip in the liquid and the test color levels are easy to read. I also really like that they come in a durable plastic holder that holds up well over time. I have purchased before and I'll purchase again!

Worked well the first time making kombucha. I did have to add some additional store bought kombucha as starter since the ph level wasn’t coming down after a week. Then it worked like a charm

Testing with these strips lets me know beyond taste alone how my brew is doing. They’re quick and easy to use and the color scale makes it foolproof. Since I’m a cheapskate, I cut each one down the middle to have two thin strips for testing, making the pack last twice as long.

I am new to brewing kombucha and these strips are super simple to use. It gives me peace of mind that my tea is fermenting appropriately and safely, which is especially nice because I don’t have the experience yet to feel comfortable trusting the process and knowing all the variables that can affect a batch. These strips take some of that guesswork out and gives me more info about what the tea is doing.

These take the guess work out of making Kombucha.

Although the test strip changes color in about a second, evaluating the actual pH is difficult as none of the colors on the scale quite matches the actual test strips. With the inaccurate color scale, I am guessing as to the actual pH but with these test strips might guess a pH within 1.0 or 2.0 of presumed reality.SUGGESTION TO COMPANY: Print a color scale on the package that better corresponds to actual test-strips, and offer users guidance for accurate use.
