So, if I used a gallon of water, the same ratio would that let me use roughly 56ml of vinegar and 5.5 tsp of kalk.
The goal of my outside the box experiment is to see how much kalk I can dissolve in a useable solution of roughly 500 ml of vinegar and enough water to make a gallon. My method of mixing the vinegar and water, then kalk resulted in a saturation level of about 11 tsp. per gallon (a little less than 1/4 cup). Do you think dissolving the kalk in vinegar and then adding water enable any more to be dissolved in the solution?
I don't think my process is really affected by the CO2 in the system. 50 ml of the Kalk/Vinegar Solution is divided into 24 doses throughout the day. So only 2ml is dosed at any time.

I think you gotta try it and see what happens. A word of caution, from my reading the kalk may get hot when mixed with very little liquid.
