Baking it converts bicarb to carb. Adding either of these will affect your pH for a few hours, but atmospheric CO2 will react through the water surface with whatever you add to establish an equilibrium between the bicarb and the carbonate (baked bicarb). The short of it... it doesn't matter what you add, in a few hours your pH will end up at the same point. Personally, I add a solution that has about 1 part carb to 7.5 parts bicarb. This works out to 50g carb:350g bicarb in each 4l jug (I use milk jugs). This is the only alk supplement I have used for years and it works out fine for me...
