You could try soaking it in a mild detergent overnight, then sit it in ph7 buffer or storage solution overnight again and see if it works better. I managed to bring mine back that way, (same unit as yours) but be aware that once the coating on the electrode is gone, it's game over and you'll...

Sounds like it's on its way out. Eventually it will also read low in the buffer solutions and not be calibratable. Do you clean the electrode at all? Or just rinse?

That one looks a little cheap. Manufacturers Reccomendation according to the description is to calibrate before each use, which means you'll go through heaps of buffer. I'm using a Hanna 98128, which is probably a bit more than you want to spend, but has worked well for me. Ideally you want...

Bumpin' for the Sundee night crowd. Cheers!

Cheers Martin. Will give them a bell Monday and try to get a quote for varying amounts. When I have some idea of prices, I'll start a bulk buy thread. Last time I mixed it up 5:1 Perc/Met ratio, so I suppose if I get 5 starters it's a goer.

I've been using the disposable ones with a reasonable amount of success, but find they go mouldy quickly and need chucking out after a few ferments. I have just trialled a Sterilock airlock, which works fine during the cold crash, but does not flow well enough to leave in place during a gravity...

Anyone know of one that will sell me a 25kg sack of it, and possibly a smaller quantity of Sodium Metasilicate? Picked some up in a bulk buy a couple of years ago and I'm down to the bottom of the barrel and need some more. I can't remember who organised the bulk buy last time, but may well run...

Beetroot Saison is ace!

Yep, drop me a PM with your email address and I'll get you on the list. All official like. Apologies for the late reply, I haven't had much of a chance to scan the forum of late.

Ok, three brews in, using as recomended by HBHB, and I hate it. The first brew which must be close to 3 months old is only just showing signs of clearing up. I've got an AAA that looks like rusty tank water and a saison that looks like the Yarra River. Brewbrite seems to be back in stock at...

Yeah, I'd like to use it. The speaker has 2x10" drivers, one firing downwards and an array of 4 3" tweeters. The good side sounds great with the tweeter array turner down, but the dead pot side only powers the tweeters when it's all the way up and sounds miles too bright with my Cayin valve amp...

Should fit the shaft, 12mm I pretty loose in the gearbox. However, unless you can mount the gearmotor in perfect alignment with the mill shaft, you'll end up flogging out the bearings in both the mill and the gearbox. I suppose you could rubber mount the gearmotor an achieve much the same thing...

I've had some experience with power whirlpooling on a homebrew scale. Initially i stared using the ubiquitous Little Brown Pump, and a gooseneck type device that would allow me to vary the height and angle of the wort return to get the best cone. I found the best height was approximately 1/3...

Yeah, Ive given it a good clean, contact cleaner, fine wet & dry on the contacts and coil, then more contact cleaner, but she still doesn't work. I just realised I've left the bloody thing on my desk at work so I can't give it a good flogging wth harsher abrasives over the weekend. It feels &...
