Citric Acid 2 oz

Citric Acid 2 oz.

This is a naturally occurring acid found in all citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, and grapefruits. Used in wine making to increase acidity and ensure a healthy environment for a vigorous fermentation. Wine lacking in the proper amount of acid can taste flat. The addition of citric acid can help bring out more fruit notes and add sharpness where needed.

An acid testing kit is recommended but citric acid can also be added to taste before or after fermentation has taken place.

Safety Data Sheet

Also useful for mead making: honey is naturally low in acid, so a small addition helps balance a mead's sweetness. Add to taste, ideally after fermentation.

Other Uses for this Product

Citric acid keeps cut fruit from browning, raises acidity for safe canning, and adds sour flavor to candy, sodas and cheese making. A small jar goes a long way in the kitchen.
