Vinegar dosing.
 
Hello,

I have a question regarding Vinegar Dosing and what type of Vinegar to use. I read that you should use Distilled Vinegar but I have not found any. For those that Vinegar dose what brand and type do you use? Also if any Vancouver Islanders know where to get distilled then please let me know where you get yours from.

Regards

Why can't you dose vodka with a dosing pump?

Because vodka is 8 times stronger than vinegar , so if you have a smaller tank it makes dosing vodka difficult to dial in the right amount.

First time dosed Vodka I had a mini tank crash . I was given a bottle and thought I would give it a try. I am going to start Vinegar dosing today hopeful I will get better results this time .
