Well, you could check http://www.heylloyd.com/technicl/bulkchem.htm, which has
some good ideas.

Personally, Stop is one of the least expensive chemicals that I use. I believe
that you could use vinegar, but you'll need to monitor its capacity. I would
guess that you will spend more on vinegar than a bottle of indicator stop in
the long run.
