I'm trying to get more involved in monitoring my mash pH. I have used the cheap pH test strips with no luck. I know some recommend the colorPhast pH strips with the understanding that you need to add 0.3 to get the corrected value. I am debating if I should go this route for $20 or go full out and buy a pH meter. Let me know if you have had experience with both or either. I really am not crazy about the idea of buying a pH meter but if it's the only tool that will let me know if I'm at the appropriate pH reading I'll do it. Obviously they are more accurate than the colorphast strips but is this level of accuracy needed when we are shooting for a pH range during the mash?
Here are the potential options I'm looking at.
