    pH Meter Calibration

    That pH probe is on sale, but I am going to pass on it for now, BRS runs sales all the time. I am going to try the Milwaukee Cleaning solution. I just ordered it from amazon for 14 bucks. Give that a shot, if that doesn't work, I will order a new probe and make sure I use the cleaning...

    In addition, I always store probe in storage solutions and always rinse with DI water when using

    pH Meter Calibration

    So, I have had my MW102 for just under 2 years. Been working flawlessly, and love having accurate pH readings. Just recently I noticed some long calibration times and very slow response times. So I did a little test. Fresh Calibration solution Calibrate pH meter. Then I test...

    Chest Freezer Specs and Layouts

    I just picked up my freezer last night. So excited about this build. As said before, this freezer (Igloo 10 Cu Ft FRF1050) will fit 6 ball locks on the floor with room to spare. I plan to have 5 taps and put on a 4" collar. The hump will be used for the CO2 tank. Here is the specs...

    Best pH meter for my needs? Recommendations?

    Not sure if this helps any, but here is my thread when I was deciding between the Hach and the MW-102. I ended up with the MW-102 and I am very happy with it. Also lower in the thread I posted an unboxing video of the meter: pH meter thread

    Ho do you measure your water?

    Call me totally OCD and nuts, but I weight my water. Water weights about 8.33 pounds per gallon or about 2.08 lbs per quarts. I take my strike water volume calculated by beersmith, convert it to gallons, then multiply by 8.33 @ 70F (Density is dependent on temperature). Then I put a...

    pH Meter Calibration

    You may also consider the storage solution? People have been on the fence with that for the Hach meter. I have the MW-102 so I "Have" to use it.

    Recommend me a PH Tester <$200

    I am very very happy with Milwaukee MW-102. Here are my posts regarding my meter purchase. (First post has a link to my unboxing video of the meter) Don't forget to factor in the cost of Calibration buffers into your cost. My Initial inquiry Stability Review -Craig

    pH Meter Calibration

    Hey, I have the MW-102 and looked at the 101. I am pretty sure you are NOT correct about how the manual calibration works. The manual calibration has to deal with the temperature of the calibration solution. NOT the pH of the calibration solution. The MW102 has a separate temperature...

    Portable RO Filter Recommendations

    I purchased from BRS. They just revamped their RO/DI Line of filters. You can mount this to a piece of plywood and it comes with all the fittings necessary to hook up to your utility sink: Here is an RO/DI unit (Similar to the one I purchased)...

    RO Sparge Water

    Oh Right, what yooper said, Duhhh... you DON"T want to add alkalinity to sparge water. :drunk:

    RO Sparge Water

    You said you added your salts before taking your pH measurement. But you didn't say WHAT you added or how much to what amount of water. Just what the previous poster said, RO water has very little buffering capacity and if you didn't add any salts to increase the buffering, you will see...

    Water Adustment: Sanity Check Please

    If you send a donation to Bru'n water you get an upgraded version and that version has the pH on both those pages :) Along with a bunch of other nice features

    Water Adustment: Sanity Check Please

    My main comment would be, you are using chalk to buffer the pH from the use of the dark malts. See if you can run out to a W-mart and pick up some Pickling Lime (Mrs Wages), it's in the canning section. Use that instead of the chalk as tests have show the chalk is not as soluble as once...

    pH Meter Calibration Solution: How long is it good for?

    Yes, I ordered directly from HACH. Pretty fast service, and money well spent on quality stuff from them. Those containers ARE pretty light, and will get knocked over easy with the probes in them. but if you are carful or hold them while the calibration process runs it's not too bad, the...

    pH Meter Calibration Solution: How long is it good for?

    I purchased the Hach ones and they work great for me. Easy to mix up before brewday (I do it the night before). Split the order with a friend that has a pH meter :).. that is what I did, 50 tests is A LOT.. 25 is more reasonable for me to use up in 2 years. Also I would suggesting...
