Ph Meter With Temp Adjustment - Anyone Got One?

[bear09]

Hi All.

I bought this:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/pH-Temp-C-F-Meter-T...=item4aa9497742

it arrived last night and looks to be all in good order. Now for that price and what it says it offers, I can understand why it might not be the best.

Anyhow, it looks good and I think its a great concept.

Anyone got one of these - if so how do you rate it?

Now I feel lame - I am nudging my own thread....

ATC is the only way to go, just remember that they need regular calibration, keep the electrode wet, very salty water can screw them up and all that palaver, importantly the ATC doesn't work outside the stated range. They should come with instructions for grooming and feeding and if you want to get the most out of them they require looking after.

I opted for one (Hanna Instruments) with ATC from -5 to 105^oC so it can be used anywhere in the brewhouse.

Good investment.

I opted for the Hanna Waterproof model made for brewing, and brought it through Adorable Instruments on US eBay, cots $400 landed, not the cheapest option but good quality and works from the Lager tank to the kettle, good thermometer built in anyway it's all in the link.

Amazon and Hanna won't sell direct to us here in Australia; they direct you to the local distributer, who will rodger you rotten.
