I saw this on an old APD post, does anyone know if there'd be a pH hit MORE
than a regular 3 cups of sugar and 1 tsp of yeast in a 2Litre bottle? I'm
curious about doing this on a 10 gallon... Usually my pH doesn't go below
6.4 with my soda bottle, so I'm curious if it would be different with this..
