I use litmus paper.  Be aware though that it comes in a variety of
ranges.  The stuff you find at the pool supply places probably won't
have the range you seek.  Try a lab supply place.  You might also be
aware that pH doesn't give you concentration, only relative strength. 
Something might have a pH of 1 and still be harmless.  Both Ralphs' and
my Red Savina mash (CaJohns' Krakatoa) register between 3.0 & 3.5.  

Shelf stability is also dependant upon a great many other things, such
as bottling temperature, aseptic techniques, and other such things. 
There are several others on the list who are quite knowledgable about
this stuff.  Right Cameron?
