I just ordered it from a health food store .I just pick up citric acid from Wal-Mart or a local grocery store.
That is really good information, i havent had anything grow in my citric acid (yet) but prevention is always best, especially for the cheap stuff that lasts forever, thank youVinegar is good for stuff that doesn't have metal (i.e. magnets) encased in plastic. There is a chance the vinegar can penetrate the plastic and cause the metal to rush and swell and eventually break the plastic off. CHECK THIS OUT.
As far as citric acid, I purchase off Amazon or ebay...between 5 to 10 pounds, and mix 1 cup citric acid to a gallon of tap water. If you're going to let it sit around for some time....weeks to months....you'll want to add a preservative to keep the bacteria from growing....citric acid is food for bacteria. I use sodium benzoate at 0.1%, which is 3.8 grams....found at grocery stores, WalMart, Amazon, eBay, etc. Don't need much.
I found a small container at the Heath food store .
$5.99
Amazon.ca has it for just under $20/ lb
That same exact brand and bag....10 pounds is $26.99 on Amazon US. So who is getting rich in Canada? You might find me down on the corner...."Pssssssttt, you want to buy some citric acid."This one is a 10lb package
$75
the same brand but 1lb is $18
Yes I do .......That same exact brand and bag....10 pounds is $26.99 on Amazon US. So who is getting rich in Canada? You might find me down on the corner...."Pssssssttt, you want to buy some citric acid."
