Can I use this to passivate stainless?
Diane Baas on Aug 31, 2020
BEST ANSWER: No. Passivation can be achieved by using citric, nitric, or phosphoric acids in high concentrations. We typically recommend a small dab of pure Starsan acid sanitizer as most brewers have it on hand. If you want something less expensive, citric acid mixed with an equal weight of distilled or deionized water should do the trick.

For acidifying sparge water
I use this to acidify my alkaline (native) sparge water and avoid tannin extraction during sparge.

Does the Job
Given my municipal water profile, I wouldn't brew without this stuff. Controls PH effectively and easily.

I use this to drop the pH of the mash. I've also used this to sour a Gose, and it worked really well.

Definitely not basic
Used it to pre-acidify my wort for a kettle sour. Worked exactly as intended, preserving head retention. Definitely recommended for this purpose.

A little DOES go a long way
I just started using this to adjust pH. 3ml was enough to drop the pH of my mash from 5.7 to 5.4. Tasted it once, too. I have never tasted so intensely sour.
