Does anyone have a recommendation for a pH meter? I bought one of the cheap $10 ones and it doesn’t seem to calibrate or work correctly. I found this one with decent reviews, but thought I’d ask here before pulling the trigger.

I bought a digital meter and it works great and will save quite a bit, PH PEN hope it helps good luck op and stay strong friend:)
I use this one it's supposed to be ±0.02 accuracy, and I am using it with the proper calibration buffers (I used to work in a testing lab, so I'm familiar enough with the maintenance)
So, idk. I'm going to try a different bacteria next attempt and hope for better results.
Anyone know what the pH meter in one of the photos is? I've been looking at this one but am hoping to find any reasonably priced option.
On an relrated note, does anyone know of a decent all grain Mosaic Belgian IPA recipe?

So, I used this pH meter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ST3VTQ4/
Havest pH was at 2.8. I added this acid blend: https://www.amazon.com/North-Mountain-Supply-Grade-Blend/dp/B08563RFPT/ till the pH was sitting at 3.3
or, at least I BELIEVE that's what I was doing. I now realize I must've screwed up somehow, been working with a faulty measuring system, or not allowed the acid blend to fully mix.
I haven't measured the pH. I did taste it. It tasted tartaric.
I have never measured teh TA.
The problem is the tinny/acidy taste, yeah.
And, I've got ~5gallons.

I will admit that a titration test is the most accurate, as I use that when measuring Ph in my pool. I should have thought of that when I picked it up.
Oh yes my apology, its this one https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00ST3VTQ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_i_FQ93ZYXAT94Q21FP3Z39?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I'm using distilled water (sanity checked it pH) and if I take soil and mix it up in the water it's 6.5. I'll try some more samples. Thanks for the direction! Is it salvageable?
I would hope it works well. Double the price of the one I have which works great:
I've been wanting to take a crack at making a kettle sour - should I invest in a pH meter for the process, and would this one be adequate ?
