100g Citric Acid
Often used as a substitute for natural citrus, it helps promote healthy fermentation and also possesses beneficial antiseptic properties.
Citric Acid can be added to juice or wine/cider as required to achieve target acidity.
Citric Acid occurs naturally in most fruits and is the most popular single acid. It is simple to use and has a pleasant fruity flavour. May be carefully added to country wines to create an attractive flavour in otherwise low acid flat wine.
Citric acid is a versatile acidulant used by homebrewers and winemakers. As the main acid found in citrus fruits, it can impart a pleasant tanginess when added in small amounts.
Some key uses for citric acid include:
-
Adjusting mash pH for optimal fermentation in beer recipes
-
Balancing acidity in fruit wines to complement flavours
-
Preventing microbial stability issues by maintaining an acidic environment
-
Improving clarity and shelf stability through proper pH control
For best results, measure the pH of your must/wort before and after adding citric acid powder. Start with 1/4 tsp increments and test between each addition. Too much can overly acidify your brew.
Proper acidification is important for complete fermentation and reducing risk of infection. Our 100g citric acid will last for numerous batches. Store in a cool, dry place.
