horticultural hydrated lime v.s. pickling lime
    #17340091 - 12/05/12 06:23 PM (12 years, 1 month ago)

Guys: I am thinking og trying the straw log tech. I have been doing brf cakes for a while. My question is do I use the same measurements for hydrated lime (1/2 cup) for straw pasteurization weather it is pickling lime or horticultural lime????? In Canada the prices vary hugely? is THERE A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2????

If you truely don't know then no question is a dumb question

The pickling lime is food grade.

Same chemical.  Calcium  Hydroxide.




I wish people would measure stuff by weight instead of volume around here.

The agricultural stuff is probably a little more coarse,  might be less weight for the volume.

I'd use a little less than the recipe calls for if you go with the pickling lime.

Test the pH if you really want to be exact
