Portable pH meter HI99151

processwaterproof

The Hanna Instruments HI99151 is a durable, waterproof, and portable pH and temperature meter designed specifically for beer analysis. The HI99151 uses the FC214D titanium body, amplified pH electrode that offers numerous features that improve pH testing for beer analysis. The split-level LCD displays both pH and temperature readings, along with indicators for reading stability, battery percentage, and calibration instructions. Waterproof design for use during beer production. Titanium pH electrode for increased durability while brewing. Great for all brewers, from professional to home brewers! In the brewing process, the enzymes required to convert the starch into sugar are pH-sensitive with an optimal pH range between 5.2 pH and 5.6 pH. Different compounds are used to adjust the pH including phosphoric acid, lactic acid, and gypsum. Wort clarity and break formation are also affected by pH. Protein coagulation occurs during wort boiling, where the optimum pH is around 4.9, even though a common boil pH is 5.2. A pH that is too high will not only inhibit coagulation but also promote browning due to the interaction of amino acids and reducing sugars.
