How much should I be buying?  2oz?  4oz?  does it go bad?  How much would you typically use for a 10 gallon batch?  I realize it varies of course but I just want to buy a reasonable amount.

note:  I can buy in 2oz increments for $1.49 each.

I dont think I have ever used more than 5ml in a 6 gallon post boil batch and evn that is rare. Convert for your batch size.

Same for me. I think my bottle is 4Oz because that is what the store had.

okay - ordered some with the group buy.  I figured it was convenient so why not.

 

do you guys just use the 100 packs of pipettes or what?  are they so cheap b/c I should only use them once?

Again, same for me. I do have the same pipettes posted for use with my refractomometer though.

I use a big freaking syringe for lactic acid

I do have a baby medicine dropper but it has kind of odd increments so I'd have to interpolate a little bit.

Stop at the pharmacy and ask for a 5ml one. Most will give it to you for free.

I have some really old 88% lactic acid i've been meaning to check for pH to make sure it's still effective.  I'll let you know what the results are when i get to it.  This stuff might be 15 years old.  8 years, minimum.
