Easiest way to calibrate your Govee Thermohygrometer | Salami Making

- Today we are talking about how to calibrate your thermohygrometer.
The brand we use is from Govee and can be purchased here on Amazon: amzn.to/45QK1KZ
When you use sodium chloride (salt) to calibrate your unit, the humidity should read around 75% when placed in temperatures between 68f and 86f (20c - 30c).
Here's the chart:
If your room temp is 68f (20c) - your humidity should read 75.5%
If your room temp is 71f (21c) - your humidity should read 75.4%
If your room temp is 73f (23c) - your humidity should read 75.3%
If your room temp is 77f (25c) - your humidity should read 75.3%
If your room temp is 86f (30c) - your humidity should read 75.1%

You saved chick's lives. You are a true friend of birds.
Eric, thanks again for an excellent video and information.
Very helpful video, Eric. Thank you.
This is so cool!
Excellent thank you
Thank you for this video. I just want to get your thought on something. I have 3 different hygrometers (of course showing 3 different RH levels) and I've completed this test more than once and I do believe I am doing it correctly. I've tested and calibrated my Govee Wifi Thermo-Hygrometer three times (the first one was a salt test, the 2nd one I used a Boveda pack which supposedly guaranteed 74% RH, and the 3rd time I did the salt test again based on your video and used your chart for calibration). The thing that bothers me is that all tests have resulted in me calibrating the Govee at, or around, -7.0% RH in order to achieve a reading close to what it supposedly should be based on these tests. Once I adjust the Govee, the other two monitors will typically be around plus or minus 2-3% of the Govee. I do not know that I can trust those monitors either.
Does a calibration adjustment of over -7.0% seem plausible or ridiculous? I find this to be a rather high calibration adjustment but I would love to hear other opinions. Thanks.
I use these in all my guitar cases
Another great video, Eric. I live at over 7000’ above sea level. Does the assumption that the relative humidity inside the ziploc is 75% still apply?
Easier way to make sure you have a proper humidity level is to use Boveda packs
Govee is one thing i use in ALL my encloseres
Great video! Thanks. I have govee wifi hygrometer and I calibrated it about 2weeks ago, but I notice when my inkbird or thermpro reading 78-79 govee shoots way over 80% so I'm a bit concerned about how accurate it is between inkbird humidity controler and thermpro thermometer 🤔
Interesting question.
Can you tell me what the humidity readings after calibration should be at lower temps? Like 60-68? (My temps are at 61.) Thanks!
Hey Eric, Was that third video ever produced? i just bought a handful of these and was looking forward to hearing what you had to say about how the Govees can help regulate the cooling and humidifying units.
I'll get one made. Celebrate Sausage Season 4 happened, and I got back logged😅
Eric, I am having the same issue as Marksabota4056. I cannot get inkbird and govee to match and I have calibrated both.
I do live at 4850' above sea level
They rarely do. You don't need inkbird to match. If your Govee is calibrated, then use it to control your devices. For instance if the govee reads an average of 77% and your inkbird is set to 80%. Increase the inkbird to 83%. Does that makes sense?
@@2guysandacooler It does! Thanks Eric
Eric do you have a turkey sausage recipe? Preferably something simple
You can take any of my chicken recipes and use turkey instead. The Italian chicken basil sausage was awesome!!
To answer your question though I do have a few turkey recipes. Turkey Bologna, Turducken Sausage, Turkey salamini, and a turkey hot dog
@@2guysandacooler Hey Eric, would you ever do an Argentinian Blood Sausage video? Thanks for all you do.
Blood sausage is where I draw the line. No blood sausages on this channel
@@2guysandacooler thanks anyway

My calibration setting is grayed out and won't let me adjust. Anybody know a fix?
Delete the device, reset the device and then reconnect it, once you reconnect it you should be able to load the settings window, make sure the device is within 2 meters of the phone and give it about 3 to 5 minutes, once it loads the internal settings it will allow you to adjust as needed.
I use these devices in an extremely humid environment (95 to 100%) and have to calibrate them about every 6 months, they sometimes lose their minds and I've found that this process always brings them back to me.
If that doesn't work, you can contact their customer support, they have always been good to me, hopefully they will be good to you.
How the hell are you claiming your eyeballing of the mix being subjectively "wet sand look" somehow confirms ~75%?? Please show or link your sources or math please.
Oh okay nevermind. These are culinary context bs-rough numbers ACCURATE enough to acheive the culinary goal. Not an actual calibration protocol for PRECISE calibration of the hardware.
