I've lost my pH strips (and can't find them locally).... I keep thinking
I should order them from a semi-local homebrew shop (they used to be
local...then they moved a few hours away), but each time I think about
it, they're closed...and since I know them, I really prefer to call.
I'll remember one of these days during business hours. That, or I'll
just order from Cynmar Scientific, along with a few other things I need.

As mentioned in the original message, it'll be lime juice (4 limes) and
vinegar.
