Using marble as a buffer

[shadylane]

TPW Tomato paste sugar wash
That sounds like a good wash for testing buffering

I have used shell for a long time. Thought it was great!

I've now had two trials with marble and think it is better than shell. I can no longer get oyster shells for free.

I had some white marble tiles, 4" x 6" that weighed 305g. They were in a rum ferment for three days, raised the Ph from 3.9 to 4.1 and now weigh 272g. Consumed 33g or 10% of the tile.

So, I started looking for the cheapest way to get white marble.

$4usd for 50 pounds. I put them in a wire basket and hang in the ferment.

Wow! That's a crazy good deal!
