pH Meter?

[slanted & enchanted]

What do you guys use/recommend? I've been using strips but i'm colorblind so i have to rely on having someone around to decipher for me. I want to start experimenting with sour mashing so i figure it's time.

The entry level Milwaukee units (MW101 and MW102) are probably all a brewer needs. Well priced too. Check out this good reference (actually the whole site is a goldmine):

i was looking at the milwaukee sm-102 because we can get it for a decent price from our distributor. they have the ph51 as well.

Not familiar with any of those. I'd say as a minumum look for

1. Precision 0.01 (means you can read it to 0.01 - not that it is accurate to 0.01)
2. Accuracy better than or equal to 0.05. A meter capable of 0.02 is better as the accuracy of your readings is then set by the buffers and not the meter itself.
3. ATC
4. Ability to calibrate to 2 buffers (I understand there are some units out there that only allow 1 buffer calibration).

Under "nice to have" and as you can get it in under $100 meters I'll list it:
5. Automatic buffer recognition
