Why pH Is the Most Important Measurement in a Brewery?
Description
What if the secret to more consistent, stable, and better-tasting beer isn’t a new yeast strain or a fancy sensor — it’s just controlling your pH?
In this episode, Mark and Richard break down why pH is the quiet backbone of brewing, tying together mash performance, fermentation health, hop creep, stability, and even how your dry hop behaves. From mash targets and pH drops during fermentation to how pH changes with dry hopping and packaging, we walk through the key checkpoints brewers should measure and actually act on.
We also tackle the classic homebrew debate: pH strips vs. pH meters — and why stepping up to a proper meter can transform your consistency.
If you’re serious about taking your beer from good to great, this episode will convince you that pH is the number you can’t afford to ignore.
