PH testers
are the regular bulb type PH testers ok for testing pasta madre ?
I know they are meant for liquid but once contact is made is it accurate ?
thx

I wouldn't trust it very much, better to dissolve some of the dough in distilled water and measure that. If you are consistent in how much dough (measured as flour weight) you use in how much water, it should be very consistent and reproducible.
Lenny, I can highly recommend the Hanna bread and dough pH meter. It is reasonably priced in Canada for $135 or so. It is easy to clean and is made of food safe plastics and designed for bread and dough. It also has automatic temperature compensation which is useful since pH will change with temperature as Ilya educated me on.

Wow - that is reasonable. A pity that nothing is reasonable in Australia . . .

Just a lazy 50% increase in price - nice markup for a device that costs VERY little to ship (and has to ship to Canada as well).
Rididulous.
But then we have Chris Hemsworth, and he's pretty ridiculous, too, so I guess it balances out. Somehow.
Hanna pH meter prices in the UK are also a lot steeper than in Europe or the US.
Interestingly, nearly all Hanna European web domains direct you back to the UK site, presumably so you can't see how much cheaper they are elsewhere!
