Ever since I was a kid measuring the pH of the acid rain puddles in my yard with my tongue, I've wanted a pH meter...
The problem I see is that if you want to get an accurate measurement you need to compensate for temperature of the mash/wort/beer etc...
These people recommend the Hanna 98128 meter but the temperature range on that is 23F - 140F. Mash temps exceed this therefore you need to do some manual calcs.
A couple questions arise from this:
1.) Is the meter still accurate and usable outside of the temperature range if you correct the reading manually?
2.) How do you easily calculate the temperature compensated pH value?
3.) Is there a more appropriate meter for this purpose?
