Looking at my kit versus the video and wondering what the difference is between hydrated lime (cited in most of these cold pasteurize videos) and calcium hydroxide (included)? Is there a difference and if yes how do I use it differently? Kit looks well put together - I thank you in advance for what looks like a great little project to learn on.
Reason I ask is you say 15 years experience and I am new at this and the writeups in research has not been able to conclude clearly what we have here. HYDRATED LIME Also called calcium hydroxide. Has a density of 0.5 g / cm³.Is a colorless crystal. (but what is included is not colorless it's white) QUICKLIME Also called calcium oxide. (Is that Lye?) Has a heavy density of 1 g / cm³. Is a white, caustic, alkaline,
It's the Calcium Hydroxide that's in the Horticulture Hydrated Lime that raises up the pH of the water. Calcium Hydroxide is just cleaner than the Hydrated Lime. It doesn't have magnesium or other unwanted chemicals in it.
I APPRECIATE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. You seem genuinely helpful and down-to-earth. I wish I had tried your brand years ago.
