Hanna HI981031 Foodcare Beer pH Tester

Hanna HI981031 Foodcare Beer pH Tester

The Hanna HI981031 Foodcare Beer pH Tester is a waterproof, portable pH meter designed specifically for measuring the pH of beer, wort, and brewing water throughout the production process. With a built-in probe optimized for beverage applications, this tester ensures accurate, quick, and hassle-free pH measurements, making it an essential tool for brewers—from hobbyists to craft beer producers.

Features

• Purpose-Built for Beer pH Testing
  The HI981031 is equipped with a specialized built-in electrode designed to measure pH directly in beer and wort samples. As a result, it minimizes clogging and ensures consistent performance—even in high-protein, low-conductivity solutions.

• High Precision for Brewing Accuracy
  Featuring a resolution of 0.01 pH and an accuracy of ±0.05 pH at 25°C, this tester delivers laboratory-grade reliability in a handheld format. Therefore, brewers can make informed adjustments to mash pH and fermentation control.

• Automatic Calibration with Standard Buffers
  Supports automatic one- or two-point calibration, compatible with standard pH 4.01, 7.01, or 10.01 buffer solutions. Moreover, the calibration process is fast, ensuring optimal accuracy with minimal effort.

• Waterproof, Durable, and Hygienic Design
  The tester’s water-resistant body (IP67) is easy to clean and rugged enough for the brewery environment. Consequently, it withstands exposure to spills, steam, and routine sanitizing.

• Long Battery Life and Smart Power Management
  Powered by a CR2032 lithium-ion battery, the HI981031 offers up to 1,000 hours of continuous operation. In addition, it includes an auto-off function that can be set to 8 minutes, 60 minutes, or disabled to preserve battery life.

• Compact and Comfortable to Use
  Weighing just 58 g, the tester is lightweight and ergonomically shaped for convenient one-handed use during brew day or lab testing.
