I think I'm done with my pH meter. Returning to strips.

[SpeedYellow]

After dozens of batches over several years with a Hanna 98128, I'm just tired of dropping $70 every 2-3 years on probes. The ColorpHast strips are dirt cheap and I've found to be consistent and probably around +/- 0.1. Good enough for our purposes as far as I can tell. Checked them against the pH meter many times, and consistently 0.3 low, so they're workable. Don't seem to get worse with age either.

Will be a lot less time and hassle on brew days too.

Anyone else just say "screw it" and stick with strips?

Haha, more power to you! If it works for you, great.

Before you throw in the meter, take a look at the Apera PH60 meter. It has to be a "Best Buy" at $80 delivered...
https://www.amazon.com/Apera-Instruments-AI311-Replaceable-2-00-16-00/dp/B01ENFOIQE
...and replacement probes are relatively inexpensive...

I have been using one of these since the late summer and I like it more than my Hach PP+ - which is still a good meter but pricey $ensor$ - and totally trashes my old Hanna 98128 (cursed by its misguided autocalibration firmware)...

Cheers!

I use the same one. It's great. Cheers
