Citric acid plays a vital role in the distillation process by helping to clean and maintain equipment, ensuring the production of high-quality spirits. It effectively removes mineral deposits, limescale, and residues from stills, tubing, and fermenters, keeping surfaces spotless and free from contamination. Additionally, citric acid can be used to adjust pH levels in mash or wash preparations, optimizing fermentation and enhancing flavor profiles. Packaged in 2oz moisture- and light-protected bags, it’s an indispensable tool for distillers seeking precision and excellence in their craft.
Citric acid is a valuable additive in winemaking, used to adjust acidity levels and balance the overall flavor profile of the wine. It can help maintain the ideal pH range during fermentation, promoting the growth of yeast and preventing spoilage. Additionally, citric acid is used to stabilize and clarify wine by reducing metallic or off-flavors caused by excess iron or copper.
