Ted --
I would check with companies that specifically supply scientific
equipment -- Fisher Scientific, Cole-Parmer, VWR, etc. I'm sure that all of
these places will have web sites. Look through their selection and see what
you like. I recommend a pH meter with two-point calibration so that you may
adjust the slope and intercept of your pH curve. Also, I think that if you
get one that is accurate to +/- 0.1 or +/- 0.05 rather than +/- 0.01 then
you will be able to save some money and still get a meter that is suitable
for your purposes.
While I think the pH meter is your best bet, I do think you can get very
precise pH paper -- so, if you know your sauce pH is somewhere between, say,
5 and 6, then buy a box of litmus paper that only reads pH between 5 and 6.
Good luck.
Matt

Subject: [CH] Re-visit topic of Ph testers
I'd like to revisit a topic that we talked about last year.
I'm interested in buying a Ph tester for making hot-sauce. I really
want to know EXACTLY what my Ph is in my sauce. Litmus paper just
won't do for me.
What Ph testers out there are good and dependable and durable without
spending more than, say, $400?
What Ph range am I looking for when testing?
Thanks
Ted
