The beginning of another rabbit hole of this hobby LOL
 
I'm in for the ride. Don't hesitate to ask...I'll answer any and all questions! There is a lot going on and you gotta get it just right. One tip I'll throw out right now-get a govee temp, and RH% monitor. Money well spent for dialing your chamber in perfectly. Don't worry about the swings, it's the avg. you are looking for which the govee will give you....no guessing.

I use inkbird. They work, but not as tight a range as Auber. But if you use a calibrated govee monitor, you can use the govee to dial in the inkbird humidity controller. It works.

i bought myself a cheap ph meter but it doesn't come with any cal fluid or cleaning /storing fluid. They sell all that stuff on Amazon but not sure about the procedures. When you get into all the cleaning/storage of the probes I would be interested it the process of that.

So does the Apera have a replaceable glass tip? I run the Hanna brand and it’s tip is non replaceable, kind of a down side, but mine works well as long as I store the tip in solution.

Yeah, the tip is replaceable....but not cheap. $150-160 last I checked...
My Milwaukee replacement probe is less than $100.

Incidentally, the probe is a consumable. Only lasts 2 years tops....then must be replaced.
 
Well, dove off the deep end. i think ill be good with starter cultures for a while like a few years LOL. i already own a humidifier so were are good on that once i get everything i will start building

indaswamp indaswamp what your take/opinion on Marninski's book stating that you should do a cook step...? a bit confused there kind of contradicted the whole point of dry cured meats? is it something you practice? the paragraph called "Safety Options And Examples of Validated Processes"
