At wegmans getting scripts and subs, and maybe some beers.

Thanks, but thats not gonna get me to forgive you for adding me to that damn list. I want nothing to do with you hooligans

 

[finsfan]

Gavin, what pH meter do you use or recommend? I need a new one soon

@m00ps

Oops.

 

[iijakii]

Oh man, I knew that always sounded familiar! Hadn't caught the reference until then. ****in' bubble boy.

Can't believe I got out-seinfeld'd.

@finsfan I like the Milwaukee MW102.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Also the tagging notification on here doesn't bug me since I shut off the emails. What's bugged me is the nonstop string of texts about school closings tomorrow. Literally ever 5-10 minutes.

@finsfan I like the Milwaukee MW102.

Haven't bought one yet, but have gotten lots of recommendations for the mw102.

@finsfan I like the Milwaukee MW102.

Nice. I like that it adjusts for temp.

 

[TobyG]

That's not supposed to be infected, is it?

Nope, it's not.

I think the bigger issue here is that you're getting text notifications from all the local elementary schools......

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I see where I stand now

At least your on the list...😥

 

[mhurst111]

I'm here - just been working for change...

 

[Qhrumphf]

You shouldn't be reading at mash temp anyway. Destroys the probe in addition to everything chemically wrong with it. Kind of making temp correction not horrendously useful (as the shift between varying degrees of room temp isn't significant).

I need help.

Speaking of which, where is @WesleyS , @mcbaumannerb , @finsfan , @ChefRex , @Hello , @1977Brewer , @Qhrumphf , @thatjonguy , @Helly , @DrunkleJon , @BreezyBrew , @GavinC (lol) , @Zekk , @pointcity-homebrew , @mhurst111 , @BigPerm , @hawgwild81 , @Billy-Klubb , @TobyG , @SupervisingChildren , @TheCADJockey , @onetoeddogbrewery , @Fedora , @DisturbdChemist , @BeerMeDuffMan , @blizzard , @wyobrewer1 and @BGBC ?

I've actually been working these past few days. New research project, I'll be in and on during the days for a few weeks. Once I get everything practically running itself, things will return to normal.

Beer will be had in a bit.

And reported for the list not being in alphabetical order.

Well dammit! I was thinking I wouldnt have to chill the mash sample anymore. BTW, whats the recommended practice for that? Wont the longer I let it sit lead to further conversation and a lower ph?

Pull an ounce or two and ice bath it. Only takes 30 seconds or so to get <90F where I'm comfortable reading it. I forget the actual standard but I think it's 67 or 68F.

Sweet. I've just been putting it in the freezer for like 20 minutes. Ice bath sounds better.

[Billy-Klubb]

Looking back at the last few pages made me laugh. Anytime one of you tight-kint bastards goes MIA for more than a few hours people start freaking out. Its like drunk girls at a bar. "Wheres Courtney?!? we have to find her"

Who's Courtney and why are you cheating on us?

yeah! wtf, @m00ps ?!?

 

[Psylocide]

yeah! wtf, @m00ps ?!?

Next brew is a smoked robust porter because of you. I'll set a couple aside if they don't suck and you can pick them up the next time you're in town.

Also, quoted to get @m00ps some more notifications, since he felt left out that first go around.

 

[drainbamage]

Dayyum, I try to work for a couple hours and you guys get busy!

 

[Billy-Klubb]

@m00ps check out the awesome book my awesome wife got.

@m00ps check out the awesome book my awesome wife got.

She sprung for the Expanded Edition?

Jesus.

 

[Zekk]

Wife just gave me the OK to brew before my planned RIS brewday. Going to do an ESB to build up a yeast cake to dump the RIS on. Very excited, I like beer.

 

[finsfan]

If this thread survives as long as the drinking thread (doubtful, someone will ruin it) it will have over 1 million posts at this pace.

Gavin, what pH meter do you use or recommend? I need a new one soon

I use a Hach Pro+

Both it and the Miliawakee mention by Qhrumphf pass all the selection criteria given by the folks in the know

• 2 point calibration
• Manual calibration (you decide not the device when to grap the calibration pt.)
• Replacable electrode
• Reading stability
• Resolution 0.01
• Accuracy +/-0.01 (Not quite true as accuracy is typically measured in RMS values)

Nice. I like that it adjusts for temp.

All pH meters adjust for temperature. Temperature is one of the factors which affects pH and the device can't spit out a pH value without measuring the sample temperature. All ATC means is that it will give the pH at a given temperature. It's like saying my car came with an engine.

Typically pH readings should be recorded and compared at room temperature. That is the convention but it is not followed by all authors.

Temperature extremes are not good for a pH meter's probe. Best to cool the little sample for sake of probe longevity and reproducibility of data.

My meter, buffer pillows and cleaning soln. (don't need storage soln with the Hach Pro+)

I swear it's not my fault. Fins keeps goading me in.
