now i understand that there is a change of ph when adding CO² to water but how profound is it?is it a profound difference or a slight .01 between really fizzy and flat?
-
Great question! Don't see why not, but let's see if somebody really knows the answer.
Sounds like a good product too. You could sell "swizzle sticks" so that people could test their sodas.
"Oi, Garcon!
Wot's this then? I specifically asked for a CO2 concentration of XYZ. I demand you take this back, otherwise I will have to take this up with the manager. And don't expect a bleedin' tip either."

So it won't go back to 7, but if it's flat it would be a lot highter than 3.0?
-
what im looking for is flat to fizzy, sorry, and the liquid is beer. i will do the experment when i got my hands on the equipment but if anyone already has numbers could help me prove my boss wrong. also i hate serving flat beer
-
ill let you know when i get the results. ungassed beer to carbonated beer i have a lot of beer to gass in the meen time
-
Depends on the carbonated drink. Colas have phosphoric acid added too, which affects pH independent of fizziness.
-
the only way to find out for sure then is to tack the beer ph before i put co2 into the conditioning tank, and every 24 hours take the ph reading. in theroy there should be a change in ph after that its a question of how much and how this can relate to the amount of co2 in the sealed conditioning tank
-
A less scientific method would be to consume a sample periodically and time the duration and frequency of your burps.
-
lol i have to do that anyway as part of my job.... well the testing not the burping
