None of the reviews I’ve read show a PH meter that sticks out as excellent.  You guys have any suggestions?

ive been happy with these, and prefer 3 digit resolution vs 2…e.g. 5.35 vs 5.3:

Thanks Ken!  Went with the thermoworks meter you suggested.  Hope it will last a long time.

Treat it well and it should work out for you.

Ken, are you having to calibrate this often?

I do usually do it once a month…mostly because I’m brewing often every week. My first probe lasted 3 years before it went wonky, and that may have been premature because I wasn’t using storage solution or the acid probe cleaner. Now if use both.

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t calibrate it every time you use it. Takes only a few seconds to calibrate it and I find mine is often not calibrated correctly.
