PH meters that are easy to store, affordable, and accurate at mash temps?

[Rev2010]

I have the same Apera meter as well and it has worked well through 2 brew days so far.

Yep still loving mine too. Been working great. Such a huge improvement over the Milwaukee PH56 I used to own. Easy to calibrate, stabilizes nicely, easy to use, nice cap with storage solution fill line, etc. Glad I took a chance on it.

I use a meter I got for $15 on amazon. I calibrate before each brew with the 4.0 and 7.0 solution. I know it's a cheap meter but I figure if calibrated it has to at least give a decent ballpark estimate. At least it's another data point in my notes. I haven't been able to bring myself to pay $100+ for a nicer one yet.

In terms of the sample taking too much time, just pull a shot glass sample during mash and it shouldn't take long to get it down to room temp in a bowl of cold water. Only takes me about 5-10 minutes. I never try to adjust my ph during the mash. Just take readings for future reference.
