I have seen refractometers on ebay that a alot less than other places. Does anyone have any advice on the idea of buying a refractometer on ebay?

I bought mine on Ebay. Been happy with it. Post up some links to what you're looking at.

Lupulin Threshold Shift
lupulin threshold shift \lu·pu·lin thresh·old shift\ n
1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

I got this refractometer and this pH meter, both from same seller to save on shipping.
Both work great.

How often do you use the pH meter? I've never tested my pH and if that thing works well, $20 isn't much to spend on a toy in my opinion (about 4 beers at any brewpub is $20!).
How much was the combined shipping? Combined as shown it would have been $18.96, just curious as to what he charged for both.
Good seller! Thanks for listing him!
Thanks!

I got it to use for when I go AG (soon), so I haven't used it for brewing yet. I bought some calibration buffer solutions and tested/calibrated it and it's ready to go for my first AG. I only plan to measure the pH during my first AG, not try to adjust the water yet.Bill wrote:Hey Ken,

Unfortunately, you can't just use a few drops like with the refractometer, the probe would have to be submerged in probably an ounce or more. It has automatic temp. compensation, but I don't think sticking it in mash temp water (or higher) would be wise, so cool the sample first.
Combined shipping was $13.97, making it ~$59 for both, shipped.How much was the combined shipping? Combined as shown it would have been $18.96, just curious as to what he charged for both.
