Of course my strange woeful tale of pH meters continues... After
finding out from Presque Isle (after much prompting) that my pHep5 is
back ordered from a supplier who is also back ordered (i.e. no
delivery date in sight), I decide during a bought of insomnia to try
the Checker one more time (I had already tried calibrating it a
half-dozen times in the last month with no success). Lo and behold,
it's behaving perfectly in the wee hours of this morning...

Good timing too. The nicest thing about it is that the latest
measurements are all a fair bit different than the pre-ferment ones,
in varying directions, but the measurements all generally back up my
sensory perception (taste). Perhaps the good part of the meter being
unreliable is that I'm developing my sensory skills more, and the
ironic part is that by the time I get a reliable meter I won't need it
so badly :-)

Cheers!
