Amazon has several ones. They range bewteen 20 and 150 euros over here (Netherlands). I bought one that was 40 euro and had some calibration powders added as well. Good start! Don’t get strips. They aren’t as accurate and they run out sooner than batteries.

How much and where?

Hey Jim, I would recommend getting some storage solution. This is the one I use: https://geni.us/phstorage
While you could get away with using a few drops of tap water…I would rather ensure the longevity and accuracy of it by using the proper stuff.

I have just ordered the same Apera PH20 device you use, and noticed the box doesn’t come with a storage solution. Is it essential to purchase this separately, or does this particular device not really need one?

Cheers!

I am pretty sure I mentioned in the video, the fan is not for bringing external air in. It only turns on when the heating is on. It is there so that the heat distributes better inside the Ferminator, so there aren’t hot and cold spots.

Commenting here as there is no article about your ferminator.
You got small fan for hot air distribution inside fridge. Do you mix only internal air or have fresh air input.
Explain please.

This will help me in projects I’m in – edible mushroom cultivation, which might be also interesting for you.
Fresh air circulation and proper humidity is crucial for species like shitake. Oyster mushrooms are less sensitive. But your fridge fermintor idea would work great for both I think.
