Temperature to test PH

[hopster997]

Why when talking about taking the PH of the mash, no one ever mentions at mash temp or at room temp?

Actually, that has been a FAQ for as long as I've been hanging out here...

Cheers!

I think maybe it's just assumed that room temp is the correct and accepted way to measure pH in brewing.

General convention for home brewers is room temp, but if you really want to go down the rabbit hole and see an interesting discussion:

Great, thanks for the input. I had assumed it was at room temp, like most things in home-brewing, but seems like no one really specifies that.
