Hoping that you didn't mix phosphoric acid with calcium carbonate and got gassed out with carbon dioxide?!
You did have gloves and goggles on I hope?

Haha m, still kicking and still alive. Phosphoric acid into 14L water (1ml) CaCo3 into 14L water (0.5mg). No chance of gassing myself out. The chemicals are to make my water alkalinity softer and more consistent. Also to add salts that we are a bit deficient on.
Gloves - for girls.
I do wear glasses if it helps.
Was it a success. Yip indeed. I wont post the pics because they might be a trigger, but lets just say that I have made the palest ordinary bitter that I have ever seen. It will come in at <0.5%ABV when I am done and will be just as full an tasty as the real thing.
Cheers,
ZAB
