Methylorange Indicator

Post by SiHoltye » Sat Dec 06, 2008 1:58 am

Methylorange indicator, de-ionized water, and CRS seem to be the constituent parts of the alkalinity testing kit that is talked about around these parts.
Being a disorganised person I've mislaid the indicator and instruction page kindly sent to me earlier in the year (hope the sender doesn't read this :oops: ). Can the helpful folk on here source any indicator for me, and a copy of the instructions please, pretty please?

Background to this post:
I've noticed my tap water alkalinity in 2008 has varied between 52 and 117 according to my report :roll: an unspecific average of 82mg/l HCO3 across 121 tests - gee ta. Requiring between 3ml and 11.5ml per 30L for bitter profile :roll: .
Can't live with this and so want to test the HLT contents before each brewing. Last brew I did I added CRS in line with 82mg/l HCO3 and mash ph was 4.8-ish, boo.

Many thanks in advance.

Dam... you could insist on payment upfront... which I think is more than fair. I wouldn't expect to receive anything without payment first. Maybe paypal. Charge a little more so your not out of pocket, and there is nothing wrong with making a little profit to cover your time. I reckon they would still fly out. [-o< Ask the question in a poll!

Chris,

Do you have a PayPal account? I'll happily send you £3 for one of the kits.
