How do you check acid balance and why is it important?

A good acid titration kit will have detailed instructions which are easy to follow. In most wine kits, this is not necessary, as they are balanced in production. Wine from fruit or vegetables may need to be adjusted using a test kit. Too much acid gives a tartness, while too little may leave the wine flat or sweet. Also, wine yeast needs to be in a limited pH range to work at peak efficiency.
