What I found.

Post by berryman »

I knew I had this, but forgot where it was. (It sucks when you have so much stuff but don’t know where it is) I found it in my garage and it works, have never used it for brewing, have been using test strips. I had it for my farm, will this work on my brewing? Tomorrow I will calibrate and see what happens

Assuming the pH range is applicable to beer, which it appears to be (http://www.4oakton.com/proddetail.asp?p ... 1&TotRec=9), it should work fine. You'll need to calibrate it as you said, and take the pH at the proper temp. Neat!

yup, still works. The old batteries were still in it and had to clean some, Cal it at 7.0 and 4.01 but then decided to go with the 10.0 too. It has been a long time since I used it and had to get the manual out. Will try it on my next brew.
