The HI-99151 uses the FC2143, a titanium bodied, pH electrode with a flat pH sensor profile and an extendable cloth junction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe HI-99151 measures pH from -2.00 to 16.00 pH and temperature from -5.0 to 105.0°C. Automatic calibration is done at one or two points with two sets of buffers and all readings are automatically compensated for temperature variations. Indicators for stability, battery percentage and calibration instructions are viewed on the primary display. The HI-99151 uses three 1.5V AAA batteries for an exceptional battery life of 1400 hours of continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIdeal for brewing operations such as mashing and wort separations, measuring the pH of the cooled wort boil, checking the fermentation pH and checking the finished or conditioned beer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are no crevices in the electrode to collect solids and the pH and temperature specifications are pertinent to most brewing operations.\u003c\/p\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 acid and gypsum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWort clarity, and break formation are also affected by pH. Protein coagulation occurs during wort boiling, where the optimum pH is around pH 4.9, through 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 effected 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\u003epH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRange -2.00 to 16.00 pH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.01 pH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±0.02 pH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalibration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne or two point calibration, two sets of standard buffers available\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature Compensation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eautomatic from -5.0 to 105.0°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-5.0 to 105.0°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±0.5°C (up to 60°C). ±1.0°C (outside)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectrode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFC2143, pre amplified pH electrode with internal temperature sensor, DIN connector and 1 m cable (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery Type \/ Life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 x 1.5V AAA \/ approx. 1400 hours of continuous use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnvironment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 50°C; RH max 100%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e154 x 63 x 30 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e196 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hannainstruments.co.uk\/modules\/teapotknowledgehub\/uploads\/man99151_05_18-609a788ad9b2e.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHI-99151 Portable pH Meter for beer analysis (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hanna Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57640111145333,"sku":"HI-99151","price":657.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5511\/6439\/files\/hi-99151-portable-ph-meter-for-beer-analysis.jpg?v=1791581632","url":"https:\/\/testallwater.co.uk\/products\/hanna-instruments-hi-99151-portable-ph-meter-for-beer-analysis","provider":"Test All Water","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
