TPW verses science.
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2015 6:33 pmHi guy's Surly tomato paste is just 100% citric acid, salt, tomato flavour & some organic solids? So why not just use citric acid & a bit of salt instead of a jar of paste? :teasing-tease:

Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2015 7:13 pmNot sure where you get your stuff from, but normally it is tomatoes which are boiled under vac until a large % of the moisture is removed. If you use the Leggos from the recipe it is 99% tomato and 1% salt. .
Typical Tomato (mg/ 100 g)
Calcium (32)
Copper (trace amount)
Iron (0.5)
Magnesium (23)
Manganese (trace amount)
Phosphorus (63)
Potassium (397)
Selenium (1)
Sodium (11)
Zinc (trace amount)
So for someone who knows / wants to know a limited amount about water chemistry it is a great addition as it has the key elements for keeping yeast happy to ensure a decent ferment.

Just dont get the "organic version" it has more than twice the salt as the normal one :handgestures-thumbdown:

Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 4:26 pmNot a joke, the jar I have must be just too damned cheap! We don't have a SUPERMARKET out here just an over priced general store with very limited stock. I'm always looking for a way to short circuit the system. :D

Don't bother mate. 'Short circuits' only cause headaches and stalled ferments ;-)
