How long do you keep the probe in solution to get a reading? Seems that it always moves even after being in solution for a LONG time.
I used to let it sit for about a minute and then call it good.
What do you guys do?
Mine seems to take quite a while to stabilize. You also get a notification when it’s done I believe.
Mine has no notification that I am aware of
That’s what I do. It usually only moves by 0.1, if at all, for me.
yep solid minute here. too much longer to get stable reading tells me i need to clean that probe with cleaning solution soak.
Gotcha. Storage solution or is that different?
cleaning is more acidic than storage.
I swirl mine around in my wort sample and it can take up to a minute or so to stop moving. Once it stops, it pretty much stays at that reading for me. YMMV.
I give mine a good 4-5 minutes. I cool it quickly and have been assuming the delay in stabilization is the result of the actual pH change that occurs with the temperature change from ~150F to 68F.
I let mine sit in the fluid until the numbers resolve around a number. The accuracy is +/- 0.2, so as-long as its not changing beyond this, I assume the reading is good. It has a resolution of 0.01, for that last digit may never settle. During measuring, I will always have a glass of RO water to sit it in between measurements. Once done, then I use cleaning solution and store it in the buffer-storage solution.
