Wow great post thanks for that!

I actually did a semester on introductory chemistry but was completely over my head and kind of scraped by and forgot most of it, didn't help that I hadn't done secondary/high school chemistry. I guess what has really sparked my interest is that I've gotten into brewing beer and the chemistry/biology side of things has made me interested again. The impact of different minerals present in the water to the biochemistry side of brewing so would just like to understand better the chemistry behind it. pH plays an important role in beer making so was already planning to get a pH meter anyway but could use it for other experiments as you've mentioned
