    Side by side water modification test

    When I have needed to use really small amounts of brewing salts, I (fully) dissolve 10x what I need (they aren't that expensive) in a 100g of water and then just discard 90g of that solution. Hate to justify it to a Lab TA but, its probably close enough.

I am able to unscrew the pullout from the end of the hose screw on a male to hard barb fitting and stick the supply tube of my ic right onto it. I couldn't tell from...
