15 pack pH calibration buffer powder | 5 sets of 3
Product Description
Acidity plays an important role in many forms of fermentation. The pH is a measure of the acidity of an aqueous solution. The pH of water is around 7 at room temperature. At room temperature, acidic solutions have a pH lower than 7, and thus a high acidity. So water has a pH of 7, beer between 4.5 and 5, vinegar around 3 and battery acid around 0.5. The pH is a logarithmic scale, meaning that a drop of 1 pH point is 10x more acidic. The lower the pH, the more acidic your product and the more acidic your product, the safer your product. The exact acidity depends on what you are making, but very often it is essential to verify the exact pH at a certain time in the fermentation, so you need this pH calibration buffer powder. In the words of the famous sausage maker Lenin: “Trust, but verify!”
pH meter calibration
The liquids in the electrode of a pH meter age with usage which leads to measurement error. You can determine this measurement error by calibrating the pH meter in which you compare the result of the measurement with the (inter)nationally established standard value. How often you have to calibrate a pH meter depends on the use and on any contamination. With heavy use, calibrating at least twice a month is recommended, and also when you haven’t used your electrode for quite some time, it was cleaned, or it is a new one or simply because you want to make sure your fermentation is going according to plan.
