Review of the Omega PHH-7011 http://www.homebrewdad.com/index.php?blogid=65 It's actually two point calibration. pH 7 and then either 4 or 10. Take a look at the manual: http://www.omega.com/Manuals/manualpdf/M4647.pdf You might also want to move this thread to the Brewing...

You've whined and complained that the instructions in beer kits were written in cursive, by a left handed, one eyed monkey who obtained their brewing degree from Generic College. Now's your chance to win big. 1000 points to the first person who can, in a single post, write a succinct set of...

When asked why we don't get a dish washer, my Mom would always reply that she had 4 of them already. You just need more labor.

Don't really need a kit, here's the all-grain and extract recipe from Vinnie: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/6351/doubleIPA.pdf

I believe the first set of links is the one Denny is referring too (Even though they may or may not describe a blind triangle tasting, you'll have to take that up with Denny).

Denny would know for sure, he also set this one up: http://hbd.org/cascade/decoction/ http://hbd.org/discus/messages/26895/29913.html?1114193935 Apparently the results were published in Zymurgy.

Different spreadsheets model the buffering capacity of various malts and the mash differently. No single spreadsheet can accurately predict mash pH under all circumstances. Part of the problem stems from the lack of Maltster participation in providing DI pH and titration data (perhaps there...

Agreed, I was being sarcastic with regard to Martin's pondering of "unless White does?" Sure, if you have a spare $100. Of course, they cater more to commercial breweries than the homebrew market.

White Labs does do water analyses, Catalog #SIT6000 - $101.

Denny, were the malts used in your decoction tasting well-modified or under-modified? In order for the decoction mash to produce Melanoidin products aren't the proteins and amino acids present in the under-modified malts necessary? My understanding is that using well-modified malts won't...

Maillard Reactions occur staring at around 230F depending on the type of sugars and amino acids present. Boiling occurs at 212F, thus if you have a very thin decoction you won't develop those melanoidins via Maillard Reactions. You might be able to boil down a decoction enough to get the...

The adjustment you made is about as accurate as it gets, unless you do a test mash. You could add acid or alkalinity in very small quantities, stir, test, repeat... though that's subject to it's own set of quandary. I don't believe a scale or nomograph could be constructed to accurately...

What you did was perfectly reasonable and acceptable. No reason to label it a hack.

Never use feed grade barley in a mash. The barley is not clean nor is it malted! The barley needs to be cleaned, first with a fanning mill and then before malting it is literally washed with water. It is very, very dirty and may not even be worth trying to malt. Raw grain is covered...

Seems to target those new to all grain brewing and fits a business model of "able to be included in a kit" as an option. From the instructions: Not sure their model of SRM and OG, combined with those salts, will accurately target an acceptable pH without further adjustment. Perhaps if...
