When I make PO, I follow Kerik's advice to get it slightly acid around pH 6, 
and test with litmus strips.

Well, the best way I know is to measure it. The figures on the web, may not
be the ones in your possession. For this solution pH paper test indicators
will be fine. broad range will work.

Hi Eric, I don't know how to calculate this (anyone willing to explain?),
but all the web sources state something around 8... I had looked that up
once.

K2C2O4 + H2O -> ??? (I know C2O4 = -2 and K = +1...)

Loris.
