POTASSIUM BICARBONATE 1 LB LDC FACTORY PACK REDUCES ACIDITY IN WINE AND HOMEBREW

Description: ~ 1 POUND POTASSIUM BICARBONATE FACTORY PACKED ~ Here's a 1 pound sealed sack of PB (Potassium Bicarbonate) factory packed by LD Carlson. Potassium Bicarbonate is THE best way to reduce acidity in wine. It provides the same acid reduction without the chalky taste. It is very effective and completely undectable. There is no added taste when used as directed as PB passes through your wine and settles out at the bottom of your carboy. Use .75 grams per gallon (approx 1/2 teaspoon). Each .75 gram will effectively reduce acidity by 0.1%. After a month or so most of the Potassium Bicarbonate and acid crystals will precipitate out of your wine and settle to the bottom of the carboy. They are then removed in the normal racking process without additional steps. You do not want to reduce the total acidity by more than 0.3 - 0.4%, so you should not use more than 3 grams per gallon (no more than 2 teaspoons per gallon). We are recommending that Potassium Bicarbonate be utilized to reduce acidity in all Muscadine wines immediately after the first racking. Mix your dose in a little wine and add to the carboy. After a few hours slosh slightly. This will actually help your secondary fermentation as Potassium is a nutrient essential to healthy yeast growth and also an effective food safe fungicide. Potassium Bicarbonate reduces the acid level of wine by neutralization and precipitation. It neutralizes acid by converting one of the hydrogen ions in tartaric acid to water and then combining with the remaining tartrate ion to form relatively insoluble potassium bitartrate (KHT) "Wine Diamonds" which settle out of the wine into a thin brittle sheet: Potassium Bicarbonate is classified as a generally regarded as safe (GRAS) food additive by the FDA. As a safe zero impact agricultural fungicide Potassium Bicarbonate is cleared for use on grapes, cucumbers, tobacco, roses, strawberries, and a wide range of other crops. Also available in smaller packs. ITEM CONDITION: Brand new first quality merchandise. Shipping & Handling Payment & Risk Management We Ship Daily.
