The voltcraft meter that a lot of other brewers use is This one which has the benefit of replaceable electrodes.

I will admit that I am not a fan of the all in one 'pen' type meters though

I've got one of the pht-02 ATC pH meters. Seems to work fine for me! The only problem I've found was the tiny amount of storage solution (had to buy some more) and the fact that the bottles of calibration buffers leaked like crazy and the level went too low (had to buy some more- quickly found the calibration process wasn't very accurate when the probe was hanging in clean air)....

Ben, I think (and I might be wrong) you're only supposed to use the calibration buffer once. You pour a bit of it into something, calibrate the meter, and toss it. Otherwise you can change its PH by repeatedly dipping your probe into it. I'm happy to be corrected.

I own the one Aleman links to. Seems good to me, although it's my first one. There's not enough storage solution (I've topped up with PH4 for the time being), and it beats me why the calibration process has to be done with an itsy bitsy little screwdriver. Also, it's worth drilling a hole in a piece of wood just big enough to wedge the storage solution bottle into, otherwise it'll never stand upright, ever. Apart from that, a good purchase.

I thought it was odd that Rapid sell the pH-100ATC for 34 quid and the same meter from Conrad is 80 quid

Reminds me I need new calibration solutions . . . Thanks

I own the voltcraft ph-100 too. Would recommend it over the pen type. Cheaper too.

ph-100 also - I have found it to be a good meter. You all probably know already but Hanna do a storage solution (HI70300)
