Hanna Pocket PH meter for beer — Beer and brewing pH control
This meter is most useful for brewers and beverage QC teams who need a portable instrument for checking mash, wort, fermentation, or finished-beer pH as part of repeatable brewing control.
Perfect for Home Brewers and Professional Brewers Alike
The Hanna HI99151 is a rugged, handheld pH and temperature meter designed for brewing environments. It combines a waterproof body (IP67) with the FC214D amplified pH electrode, built to withstand the challenges of beer production, including spills, drops, and sticky wort. This meter delivers reliable, temperature-compensated pH readings directly in the field or brewery.
Users appreciate the HI99151 for its compact design, ease of use, and durability. It features a multilevel LCD that simultaneously displays pH and temperature, while the integrated temperature sensor ensures accurate Automatic Temperature Compensation without requiring a separate probe. The quick-connect DIN connector allows fast attachment and replacement of electrodes, making workflow efficient for both professional and home brewers.
Key Features
- Waterproof design suitable for wet or messy brewing environments
- Titanium body pH electrode for maximum durability
- Built-in temperature sensor with Automatic Temperature Compensation
- IP67 rugged casing that withstands drops, knocks, and spills
- Compact, ergonomic design ideal for field or brewery use
- Multilevel LCD displays both pH and temperature simultaneously
- Quick-connect DIN electrode connector for easy replacement
Cloth Junction for Extended Electrode Life
The FC214D electrode includes a renewable cloth junction, which can be partially extracted (approximately 1/8”) to expose a fresh surface when readings become unstable. This feature is especially useful when measuring pH in high-solids samples such as mash or viscous wort. The cloth junction prevents clogging and ensures consistent, accurate pH measurements over time.
For brewers looking to expand beyond basic pH testing
Consider the Hanna Digital Refractometer for Beer to quickly measure sugar content in your wort and convert to °Plato, or pair your pH readings with more advanced analysis using the Multiparameter Water Quality Meter, which adds conductivity and dissolved oxygen testing to your toolkit. If you need a compact instrument for other liquid analyses, the Hanna Pocket Refractometer provides portable refractive index and Brix measurements, making it a versatile companion to your pocket pH meter.
Technical Q&A
What makes the HI99151 suitable for brewing?
Its durable, waterproof design, temperature-compensated pH readings, and rugged electrode make it ideal for both field and brewery environments.
How does the cloth junction work?
The cloth junction can be partially pulled out to expose a fresh surface, which clears clogging caused by high-solids or viscous samples, extending electrode life.
Is a separate temperature probe needed?
No, the HI99151 has a built-in temperature sensor that performs Automatic Temperature Compensation for accurate pH readings.
Can this meter withstand spills and drops?
Yes, the IP67 waterproof rating and titanium body electrode protect the meter from accidental drops, knocks, and liquid exposure.
Is the meter suitable for home brewing?
Absolutely, its compact size, easy-to-read LCD, and quick-connect electrode make it perfect for both home brewers and professional use.
What makes this kind of instrument practical for daily use?
Portable operation, straightforward calibration routines, and application-specific sensors or scales help teams get faster and more repeatable results where the work is actually happening.
Who benefits most from this product?
Brewers and beverage qc teams benefit most when they need quick, defensible readings for process adjustments, troubleshooting, or documented quality checks.
Because it combines pH Range: -2.00 to 16.00 pH, pH Resolution: 0.01 pH, pH Accuracy: ±0.02 pH, this product is a strong fit for beer and brewing pH control in real operating conditions.
