I've got this bottle of chemical laboratories brand Merck "For analysis"-grade ultra pure 32% HCL.
I used it already once for making the tea out of the raw material, starting at pH2 and it usually ends at 5.
Is a solution of this strength ph2 already eating steel?
It did not smell at all in this way.
If I would use it for the tea only, no objections? (except it is dangerous stuff)?
So I would not use it for any further stages of teks, just the first tea.
I have confidence from:

but he's alone on this.
Seems a bit of waste not to use it if no special chemical objections are involved.
My attention goes especially toward toxicological properties of end products, I tend to believe the end product doesn't carry first acid traces, is it?
Thank you,
