What we used to do. Put a 6 pack of beer in the 5gal. jerry that was full of gas. The gas kept it cool.

The other thing we did was to chill the beer with a CO2 fire extinguisher.

lol... I never tried the fire extinguisher trick. Ill have to find one somewhere.

The best is sitting at the lake relaxing with a fishing line or two in the water, with beverages in the water staying cool...

Making a homemade cast iron pizza for dinner. Began messing with pH levels in dough.

You playing mad doctor with your pizza? 7 is neutral, 2 is acid, 10 is base or caustic. Sauces can be low as 3 ph. I image you want you dough to counter act the sauce. Is that what you are after? How are you measuring your pH?

Using a basic pH meter with a probe attachment. It's sitting at 5.5ph right now. Tried to get it around the range of sourdough to counteract the sweetness from the sauce since I made a putanesca varient. So it's on the sweet side. I wanted the dough to be on the acidic side to balance out the sweetness of the sauce and fattiness of the Prosciutto being layered on top. Settled on low moisture mozzarella as a base cheese.

Once the sweetness is in. It's in. Did you use sugar in your sauce? If so, next time try a little baking soda to taste or throw in a diced carrot when cooking your sauce. With the carrot. You can remove it after cooking. Couple pieces of chocolate will kill some acid too.

I'm trying to download the Ecutek software on my new laptop but I can only install verified apps from the Microsoft Store because it's in S Mode. Anyone know how to get out of S Mode? I tried following the Microsoft instructions but it just took me to the Microsoft Store and tells me I can't switch out of S Mode on this version of Microsoft Store.

I'm about ready to take the laptop back to Best Buy and shove it up their azz.

Sugars were from roasted tomatoes and reduction of anchovies and onions. I added some baking soda to balance out the acidity once I got home.

Think the baking soda might have been overkill. The sugars should have taking care of the acid. Unless you got a sweet tooth.
