Water PH for cakes
    #5352901 - 03/01/06 09:45 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I found that our spring water is too alkali with a PH of 8. The jars I shot up which I usede distilled water are doing fine. The 8 ph jars were duds. Anyone else notice this?

I used Meijer brand spring water in my BRF jars and almost every one of them survived. Are you doing WBS, BRF, or what? Come to think of it, I did some WBS with spring water and out of 24 jars only 5 survived.

I am using vermiculite and both Rye flour and BRF for comparison. Seems like the spring water I tried on 4 jars was not good. After 3 weeks these jars did nothing. The distilled water jars all did great.

This may be a dumb question, but was everything sterile? Ive been using spring water for a while and have had no problems. Im curious to know if your pressure cooking everything or are you just boiling the jars?

Damn. I'd say your SOL and if I were you Id stick to the distilled water. Thats a new one to me. Did you use bot distilled water in some rye jars and spring water in some jars? And the same with BRF?
