I have a source for calcium hydroxide.

I plan to cut this into smaller chunks.
Please put your name down if interested.

I hope there's a typo in the price!

You can get FG Calcium Hydroxide on ebay for about a tenth of that price.

If anyone interested I have approx 2 kegs of it free to a good home? In Portlaoise area. Same grade as used in breweries. Just send me a message if interested. I will not be splitting it into several batches i.e. First to request gets the whole batch & they can split it if they want.

You mean Will 'Walter White' Davis?
I think the goatee would suit him!

I put an order in for 500g, cost about EUR12.

@Ned, what were you using this for? What are breweries using it for?
I don't really need it now, but someone will want it.

John,
I use R.O. & use it for balancing water profile, use Bru'N'water to calculate profile. Often used in breweries for correcting PH.
