They said that no matter what you hear, all probes need to be replaced yearly. Kaiser says every 2-3 yrs so not sure what to believe. I think Kaiser has the best guide on pH meters out there. Still don't have one but it is my next purchase. http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php?title=PH_Meter_Buying_GuideScott (GoodBeerNut)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16227458767547247435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-25610270871219187952011-09-24T10:21:14.377-04:002011-09-24T10:21:14.377-04:00It got down to 1.010, I was a bit surprised it did...It got down to 1.010, I was a bit surprised it didn't get lower.

I've heard they can go two or three years if stored properly. Some people use distilled water or store it dry, both of which are really bad for the probe. Use storage solution. As the probe wears out the slope will flatten, but with two-point calibration it should remain usable until the probe craps out completely.Nateohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428471228818070571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-80915781843447924562011-07-15T19:36:20.941-04:002011-07-15T19:36:20.941-04:00The recipe looks great...

I've recently been more into making ciders, and lime softening my water, both of which have pH ranges outside the 4-7. <br /><br />I bought a Hanna HI 98107 and am happy with it. It was the best compromise I found between accuracy and price, and was the cheapest I found with two point calibration. I think it was $40 from Amazon, but plan on spending another $30 or so for the calibration and storage solutions.Nateohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428471228818070571noreply@blogger.com
