test when I
came to learn that in addition to the ampoules and titretor I also need a
valve assembly to draw up the must. So much for testing today. You'd think
they woulda known to set me up with complete kit."

Glad heart - you don't need anything besides the ampoule that comes with the
Titret kit. Attach the plastic tube to the ampoule, break the neck and
pinch just behind the ball in the plastic neck to draw up wine. Be sure to
have the plastic tube beneath the wine surface.
