CALIBRATE A PH METER (step by step) + How To Use PH meter

I mention using this digital PH meter when fermenting vegetables and homemade vinegar in some of my vegetable fermentation recipe videos. There have been a few comments letting me know that it's calibration is intimidating so I have made this video for you! I clearly demonstrate how to calibrate a PH meter, how to use a digital PH meter and give tips on how to take care of it so it can have a long and accurate life. The goal of this video is to take the intimidation out of calibrating a PH meter.

=================================
➡️HOW TO STORE THE PH SOLUTIONS LONG TERM (re-use in the future):
1. Place each solution in a clean jar and store out of sunlight (i.e. cupboard or pantry).
2. Label the jar with the correct PH value of the solution
3. The solution will keep for about 8 months before a weird slime begins to develop. Maybe this will never happen, maybe it will happen sooner. None the less, this is how I store mine and they last 8-12 months before it's time to dump them.
4. Recalibrate the meter, or check in on it's accuracy using the stored solutions anytime.

You should do instructional videos for every product on earth! Not kidding.

I got the same PH meter and never did get it properly calibrated. This was just excellent. I read the directions several times and never got the message that you showed and explained so well in this video. Thank you most sincerely. I think the company owes you a free meter for doing such an excellent job explaining how to calibrate. The meter is useless if not properly calibrated and their instructions were really lacking. Thank you again. And I waited patiently for this carrot recipe and am so anxious to do it. You are batting a 1000 with me.

[jeannenemmyers]

Thanks so much for this video. I purchased a meter, took a look at the directions, and said I would do it later. Well, later still hasn't come! Now I know what to do, so I'll get the distilled water and do the calibration. I love your videos...my first ferment was your dill pickles and they have been a huge hit with everyone. The sauerkraut just got finished today and it's amazing. Thanks so much for your clear instructions, insights, and encouragement.

[palomavano]

I purchased this PH meter but it was too complicated for me to calibrate it. Thank you very much for the clear instructions. I will calibrate it the way you explained.

[LyricRaptor]

This was the most thorough tutorial I've found for these basic PH meters. Thank you!

[JamesRicc]

What a life saver. No wonder I cant calibrate the 3rd one. Didnt know I need to press calibrate twice to get it right. Thanks

[ghidfg]

you can save the buffer solutions in sealed and labeled water bottles or similar containers. as long as they dont evaporate they will remain the same PH and can be used for calibration whenever you need.

[barbararuthsmith]

What a revelation. Thanks so much for this very useful video. I have had this same PH meter for around 6 months now and have followed the calibration instructions exactly but the instructions don't say to hold the cal button an extra time in the 2nd test or a second time in the 3rd test like you showed. I just re read the instructions again to be sure but it doesn't say it anywhere. I have had ok results using it anyway but have found a need to calibrate a little more often. Now I am going to try and calibrate it your way and see if it works better. Thanks from Sweden!

[MrsRGAllen]

I love your calm and soothing voice. It sure beats loud, fast-talking, infomercial-like training videos.

[yomaluza]

I just purchased this meter and I now feel confident to calibrate it thanks to your video. 😊

[judymiller]

I love your videos and love how clear and concise your instructions are. I am a devoted fermentation fan and received my digital reader for my birthday. I always learn better by seeing then doing, than by reading instructions and muddling through. Many thanks again !!

[christinechapman]

Perfect timing, I just got mine and was feeling a bit confused. Thanks so much.

[antonrehling]

There are many channels like yours. But, none better. Yours is the top dog in this dog fight.

[Avenittoamna]

Thank you for teaching how to calibrate and sharing your tips and knowledge on the pH meter and other topics from your videos.

[triglideadventure]

by far the BEST video showing how to calibrate the ph meter. Very professional.

[thoos]

Since the glass and knife that you stirred with might cool the liquid down a bit, I would heat the water to a few degrees above 25 (think 27-28 would be a good number) mix the solution, then wait for it to drop to 25 (if needed).

[Anna.Maria.Muller]

Hahahah....
Thank you so much.
After reading and trying to follow the instructions several times,
I finally Googled and found this video.
So happy it was you, the person I follow anyway. :0)

[dl]

I am one of your fans, and find your videos to be priceless. Thank you so much!

[Javaman]

What a pleasant surprise. I've been watching your videos tonight and thought, I should check into a pH meter just to see about them. After searching for awhile and hearing all the horror stories of people having a hard time calibrating them I saw a video on how to do it, clicked on it not paying much attention to who it was, and here I am back with you! No complaints here. ;-)
Well done as usual.

[kickstar]

Many thanx I have learned a lot from you today, Fermenting, Sourdough, Dutch Ovens, You are a wonderful teacher, and a fine girl.
