Casey:

My understanding is that standard acid testing does not work with
kits. Due to the the way there are made, some of the acidity is
'bound' and cannot be measured (at least taht's the way I remember
what was said).

BTW, thats one of the Limited Editions for this year. So far, I don't
recall hearing anything about it. You might get some answers asking
the question in the kit section at
