In the Silver Lungs machine it states that the PH is around 10 but they don't
use any of the carbonates to increase it so I'm also curious on how that gets
that high without the use of an additive.
## Following a discussion on Ph here recently I am observing one batch at the
moment, a one litre batch I produced on Oct 7. I intend to do more to verify
the below results over time.
Ph of DW straight from the bottle, and after waiting several minutes for meter
to read constant = 6.9On completion of brewing = 10.2Oct 7 = 10.4 Fluctuating
between .3 and .4 but remaining steady at .4Oct 14 = 10.4 Same as above

Ph is the concentration of Hydrogen ions in water I believe? Is it not so that
the brewing process affects the Oxygen/Hydrogen ratio of the water, thus
releasing Oxygen leaving more Hydrogen in the water, hence the Ph will become
more alkaline?
N.
Any thought?
