Default Ripper math advice needed

Anyone have any advice / shortcuts on using Ripper method for determining
free SO2? Been struggling with the procedure layed out by Margalit. It's
terribly time consuming and full of opportunities for error - especially
first titrating for the normality factor of the iodine solution before even
titrating for the SO2.

Anyone have any shortcuts that are verifiable? Or alternative methods; short
of aeration-oxidation (I'm not clever enough to build the appratus!).

Ric,
Titrettes are a somewhat expensive alternative; they are a reverse
ripper. They have all of the same drawbacks as the ripper method
though. I don't do the ripper either, more due to laziness than
anything else...

Ditto that - one concern I've heard / read; the titrettes are not altogether
accurate. True / false?

True with reds, because they emulate the Ripper method. The problem
lies there. There should be some posts on this in the archives...
