Mash pH based on calculators

one cannot judge a brew based on a sample taken during fermentation

I don’t expect to be able to tell exactly what the finished beer will taste like from the sample. However if I detect something that seems off from the beginning I know it didn’t happen after dry hopping or transferring to the keg or after carbonation. Which helps determine where in my process and issue could have come from. I do keep an open mind that flavor will change as the process continues. But if I taste the same thing in the finished beer as I did in one of the samples then I know where to start my problem solving.

right on. I love sampling along the way. I’m the guy who wants to taste at every step and doesn’t care if his bottles are fully carbed or even cold for that matter (although it do prefer it carbed and cold).
Back to your original question… buy yourself a Ph meter I love my Thermoworks one and it’s almost the holidays.
