The amplified electrode provides a fast, stable response that is immune to electrical noise due to static discharge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFC214D is a pH electrode specially designed for use with the HI-99151 Beer Analysis portable pH meter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe body of the electrode is made from titanium, which provides an unbreakable structure that allows the transfer of heat to the internal temperature sensor for rapid temperature compensation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn integral part of any pH electrode is the reference junction. The reference junction is a part of the electrode that allows for the flow of ions located in the reference cell into the sample being measured. It is vital that this flow occurs in order to complete an electrical circuit. Any clogging of the reference junction will prevent the circuit from being completed and will result in readings that are erratic and\/or constantly drifting. A typical pH electrode has a junction made of ceramic material. This ceramic material can be easily clogged by samples, such as mash with a high solids content or wort that is viscous.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith the cloth junction is is possible to clear the junction by simply extracting 1\/8 inch of the junction from the electrode. This exposes a new portion, resulting in a renewed junction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey features:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmplified electrode - Provides a fast, stable response that is immune to electrical noise due to static discharge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaintenance free gel filled electrode – no fill solution required\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighly durable titanium body\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExtendable cloth junction to prevent clogging\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh temperature glass\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe effects of pH in Brewing\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the brewing process, the enzymes required to convert starch into sugar are pH-sensitive, with an optimal pH of 5.2 to 5.6. Different compounds are used to adjust the pH including phosphoric acid, lactic and gypsum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWort clarity and break formation are also affected by pH, protein coagulation occurs during wort building, where the optimum pH is around pH 4.9, though a common boil pH is pH 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHop utilisation during the wort boil is also affected by pH; as pH increases, the solubility of hop resins increase. A high pH also increases the release of tannins, resulting in a harsher taste, and tends to favour elevated microbial activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epH electrode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003esingle, Ag\/AgCl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ecloth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectrolyte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epH: 0 to 13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Operating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 80°C - HT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip\/Shape\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpheric (dia: 5mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature Sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmplifier\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTitanium with HT glass sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7-pole; 1m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIN (recommended for use with the HI-99151)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Hanna Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57640052719989,"sku":"FC214D","price":243.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5511\/6439\/files\/fc214d-ph-electrode-for-beer-analysis-din-connector.jpg?v=1791579745","url":"https:\/\/testallwater.co.uk\/products\/hanna-instruments-fc214d-ph-electrode-for-beer-analysis-din-connector","provider":"Test All Water","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
