How can I cheaply and easily determine pH value in my wine, and does anyone
know how to do a paper cromatography to determine a presence of malic acid?!

Thanks

Kresimir - There's no substitute for a pH meter. These are not cheap but
will last for years if properly maintaned. An option would be to take a
sample to the local high school and ask the chemistry professor to have the
kids do a pH test for you.

Assuming you are in the USA look at piwine.com. They sell a papter
chromatography test kit for about $40. Easy to use.

ColorpHast pH strips work quite well and are a much cheaper alternative
to a meter.
