Phosphoric Acid (10%) - 4 oz

    Description

    10% concentration. Phosphoric acid is said to be tasteless while lactic in large quantities can potentially leave flavor. Being a lower conentration than the Lactic, it is slower to change the pH of your water and therefore more forgiving to use.

        Good, neutral-flavored acid

        My favorite acid to lower pH, because it has no noticeable residual taste.

        Reduces PH with no flavor impact

        I like to use Phosphoric acid to reduce the PH of my strike water. Easy to measure and I don’t have little powder piles in the bottom of the kettle.

        Just a little will do.

        lower the ph of your water

        I started using this a couple of years ago. It (along with cal chl and a few other additions) makes it easy to hit the ph in the mash. Any mash, not just the dark beers.

        Sadly this is the largest size bottle

        Seems strange that you can order 100 of them, but not in a single bottle larger than this.

        Lower Ph

        Works great to lower mash water to 5.2 before sparging

        Easier than Latic acid

        Instead of the 88% Latic acid the 10% acid enabled me to dial in my mash ph to within .03, I be happy

        Easy to bring pH down for mashing and sparging

        4 ml is enough to bring my spare water of 8 gallons to 5.4 pH.No influence on the beer flavor and easy to use as it is not full strength.

        Works as expected

        Use this for my Milwaukee PH meter.

        Great for pH adjustment

        Better than Lactic acid for mash pH adjustment. 10 percent strength is perfect for my small batch brewing

        I ordered this and when it arrived there was no seal under the cap. Is this normal?

        I see no label on the bottle. Dose this come with instructions?

        MoreBeer!

        If your doing a 5 gal. batch in r/o water start with a 1/4 tsp in your water that your going to use for your mash. Then check your ph

        MoreBeer!

        Label on bottle says Phosphoric acid 10% 4oz. No instructions with mine (unless I threw them away with the packaging like a dunce). This is a standard solution as is Lactic acid at 88%. Lactic-88% is stronger and will drop your mash pH farther. Phosphoric acid is better when you need to slightly tweak pH less - maybe just nudge it a tenth or 2 of a pH. This is more flavor neutral than Lactic-88%. I own both but have never used either - its something you want to have on hand in case you miss your pH on mash day. There are lots of web resources on how to use this to hit your mash pH - and they can get quite technical really fast. You'll also want a pH meter - or pH strips you trust. Full disclosure I hit most of my mash pHs using the Bru'in water spreadsheet and Weyermann acidulated malt (another must-have item). I've only missed once and that was in the other direction - I needed less acid not more - so I used chalk not acid. I still recommend having this on hand to anyone mashing often - it's cheap insurance on brewday

        MoreBeer!

        Best solution is to get your water analyzed first (like Ward's water chemistry) then use something like brewersfriend water-chemistry to determine how to modify your brewing water.

        MoreBeer!

        Gordon Strong per his book "Modern Homebrew Recipes" adds 1/4 tsp of 10% Phosphoric Acid per 5 gal of RO brewing water to adjust the pH.

        MoreBeer!

        There are no real instructions since the volume needed depends on chemistry of water being used and beer recipe.

        MoreBeer!

        The bottle does come with a printed label that has the product information. The dosage rate will vary based on your application and water profile.
