We looked into these new DO meters from Hamilton at CBC. They're about 40% cheaper than similar meters from Hach, Anton Paar, Mettler Toledo, etc. Does anyone have one? Any feedback?

We just got a Beverly DO meter. Its my first experience with a DO meter, but it seems great. Very, very simple to use. It's quite robust as well.
My only complaint is that the zahm piercer that was supplied with ours is very fragile and difficult to use. I would find another brand of piercer to use with it.

We looked at it at CBC last year. I'm not sure what the target usage for this is. It does not accurately read low enough DO in ppb for packaging. I can't remember the range but it's lowest number was still higher that you'd want your bottles or cans to read.

Yeah, we use the Beverly for measuring DO in knockout wort in ppm as well as finished, packaged beer in ppb. The Beverly does a great job at measuring either one, although we use it more for measuring DO in packaged beer (ppb). We also use it to measure O2 when we're purging brites. The Beverly is a great value, IMO.

We have one and we like it. I would caveat it with the following: stay consistent with calibrating it. Zero point it for things that you need ppb measurements for, air calibrate for things that you need ppm measurements for... keep in mind that if you're doing most/all of your work in the ppb scale, it is not the most accurate meter out there, true it measures down to 4 ppb, but once you include the +/- error, it can be a little more iffy on some of those lower readings. It is very durable, the battery lasts a long time, and it is a great value for getting into oxygen measurement. We've had ours for a little over two years and we're thinking we want something a little more accurate, with a smaller measurement chamber for our packaged beer, but it has improved a ton of our processes, everything from knock out oxygenation to brite tank purging to keg cleaner purging to canning. We definitely got our moneys worth out of it.
