Is this meter appropriate fow wine?

Yes, this is what I'm using it for. Calibrates very easy and gives very fast readings at 2 deciminal places

I doubt it very much. The meter requires power from the USB charge port. If you removed the power from the charge port to see if there is a discharge, the meter would not be powered. Your best option would be to modify a USB cable and connect in a milli-ammeter

This yeast packet is supposed to be good for 5 gallons of fruit-based wine. The barleywine I've had was made from, well, barley, rather than fruit, and tasted more beer-like than wine-like, so I'd guess that an ale or beer yeast might be more appropriate . . . but this is good yeast, you should certainly get a ferment out of it!

It's standard temperature gauge.....Should work on all common needs. Never test my bread.... all temp and timing with my bread. You can use for yeast temp test... etc...

This should be a good instrument for your measurements. Just remember that ambient noise and the distance between the meter and the target noise are critical factors in making measurements.

Your hydrometer reading will be a little higher when starting the kit. (etc. directions for a Barolo say it should start out around 1.080 and 1.090 and ours started out as 1.104) Throughout the process though, your readings should level out and ours always fall somewhere in-between what the directions say. Just make sure you're not off a drastic amount. The starting hydrometer reading is off because of the lessened amount of water (making 5 gal. instead of 6) We have made many of these kits and always make them to 5 gal. All of them have been very good with high alcohol content. Some of them we add a little oak in the primary fermentation and some we didn't add any oak. Both ways are yummy, just depends on the kind of taste you want in the end. Hope this info helps.

There is a 2" wire on the top left side that measures the ambient temperature and I would suggest you bend it upward for the most accurate reading. However, the wire will lean (or be pressed against any wall board or other covering and could possibly account for temperature errors. I found the upward position to be more precise when calibrated with another thermometer in my wine room. Placement of this device will also affect cooling and heating cycles within a room. I want my wine barrels between 60-65 degrees so the the thermo is placed on the side of the room with 3 wine barrels. My bottled wine is less of a concern in this matter and therefore sits about 10 feet away from the thermo.

The Fizzion website says this will work with red wine as it is protein-based. I haven't tried it though.

Go to winegard.com and they will and can answer any technical questions you may have.

A beer & wine hydrometer is better suited. this is more of a whiskey/moonshine hydrometer. The lowest reading on the scale is 20 proof. There are no usable graduations till about the 60 proof range.

I don't think it is needed. Just do a check on bottled purchased water. Every so often recheck and see if reading are same if yes no calibration required.

I agree with Ruth: the Moscato would not benefit from the aerator. In my experience, all red wines will improve (high end and low end wines) but I haven't found this useful for any white wines.

My son (who used it) says that the instructions are sufficient to learn how to read and maintain the meter. The instructions are the same for any liquid, except maybe honey. They were in English for us.

It has two digital tthermometers, as it has two cooling zones. For your white wines you can set the temperature in 1 degree units from 48-64 degees and for the reds the temperature can be set from 51- 64 degrees. I have not verified how accurate the temperatures are as I use the unit as a modified humidifier for my cigars. Since I need the temperature at 70 degrees I purchased a Johnson Controls thermostat that plugs into the cooler to control the internal temperature.

I doubt do not believe this product is rated for business use. If it is I would not suggest it. Go with something heavier duty that will take to every day opening/closing and pulling of wines.

Janet, to my knowledge, this aerator or any is designed for red wines. I have traveled both domestically and abroad and have noted that red wines are aerated and white wines are simply opened and left to breathe. But ya know what, I say experiment and see if there is a difference. I can certainly attest to the red wine when using the aerator. Good gosh, I know people who put ice in their beer, using an aeroator on a white wine doesn't sound so bad... Hope that helps your decision in this purchase, I know it works on reds... - John

Well it is a wine frig, you can set it to 55 degree not sure if it's thermoelectric just use it to keep wine at the correct temp
