        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.

        Good product

        I use this product fairly regularly and find its addition to be predictable and consistent.

        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.

        My beer has improved

        My homebrew has really improved once I started adjusting my mash pH and building my water. My efficiency went up and it just plain tastes better. Because I started making both of these adjustments at the same time, it is hard to pin point which one made the biggest differene, but my money is on fixing my pH.

        Crareful with levels

        I use this to adjust pH during the mash. Just as others have noted if you add too much you will sour your beer. A little goes a long way and make sure to wait a while before checking pH again.

        Powerful stuff!

        I bought this to add a hint of sourness to a stout without having to deal with bugs or a sour mash. I tried to read around an ounce of the acid per 5 gallons of beer seemed like the consensus. Well, that is WAY too much. I ended up with ten gallons of lemonade-sour beer. So, learn from me. For a five gallon batch of beer a quarter ounce will give a hint of sourness. A half ounce will give a noticable sourness (too much for my taste) and anything more than that is a mistake.I have no experience using this for mash PH adjustment.

        I’m assuming the lactic acid is food grade and can be used pre or post fermentation correct?

        MoreBeer!

        Heck yes

        Can I use this product (lactic acid) to lower down the pH of my wine?

        MoreBeer!

        Of course pre-fermentation

        MoreBeer!

        I’m sorry I can’t answer this question. I don’t make wine. I’m sure a google search can assist finding Thai information.

        Can I use this to passivate stainless?

        MoreBeer!

        Most equipment suppliers recommend using nitric acid for passivating stainless. Most tanks and equipment you purchase have already been passivated by the equipment supplier or by the fact that natural passivation has occurred from exposure to air. John Palmer's book "How to Brew" has a brief discussion of passivation in the appendix and I highly recommend this book for homebrewers.

        MoreBeer!

        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.

        Not sure. I am sure you don't want to buy via MoreBeer
