    Hanna Phep+ calibration each use?

    I got a Hanna Phep+ pH tester last week. I soaked it per instructions, and calibrated with 4.01 and 7.01 solutions. I took some readings on various things. I stored it in storage solution, after rinsing per instructions. The next day I wanted to take a reading of some beer I was getting...

    Mash pH and Full Volume / No Sparge Mash

    I wasn't sure where to put this post. I can see it here or brewing science . I've been taking notes the last few brew sessions. I'm curious about some things that people caution me about with Full Volume / No Sparge Mash (Brew in a Bag). I don't ever adjust my grain bill to compensate for...
