I use a glass pipette and a pipette pump. They are very accurate since you are dealing with milliliters of acid.

I do it all the time. One could take two glasses and fill one them with cold water and the other with hot tap water. let both of them come to room temperature and give them a taste to see if you notice any difference.

A glass pipette from Amazon is what I use.

I would go on amazon and buy a pipette

Here is a question to add to this thread about lager starters. This is my first time using bottom-fermenting yeast in a starter. It took almost 24 hours for me to activity in the 2L starter that I created on a stir plate. Is lager yeast slower at reproducing than the equivalent ale yeast at...

I also live in Colorado Springs and have notice a BIG difference with boil-off calculated by BeerSmith and what I am seeing. I boil off about three times more than what BeerSmith is estimating. So between the kettle size and altitude/relative humidity we are seeing big differences. Here is...

I am also a brewer in Colorado Springs and have just recently moved to all-grain brewing. What I have really noticed is that I am boiling off a lot more liquid than what is being calculated in BeerSmith. It's calculating an evaporation rate of 8.3% per hour or about half a gallon. I am...

Let me win this time!

The heat shield surprised me as well. You NEVER see it is the pictures you see of their setups.

I like the fact that between the two reports from two different members were fairly close in all the values measured by the lab. if there was wild variation then it would only add more confusion to Colorado Springs water supply.
