Acid Ratio: | Citric Acid: 45% Malic Acid: 45% Tartaric Acid: 10% |
Usage:
One teaspoon per gallon (1.3mL per 1L) increases the total acidity by .1%.

Form: | Powdered |
Chemical Composition: | Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) |
- The exact amount of calcium carbonate needed will vary in every recipe and will depend on many factors including the acid level of the wine or ingredients used
- General application to reduce wine acidity: 1/2oz per 5 US gallons (14.2g per 18.9L)
- 1/2 tsp (2.5g) of calcium carbonate will lower total acidity of 1US gallon of must approximately 0.1 %
- It is not recommended to use more than 0.4oz or 4 tsp (11g) per 1US gallon or to reduce the acidity by more than 0.4% with calcium carbonate
- It is more effective to use calcium carbonate to de-acidify fruit must prior to fermentation

It should be used when making wine from fruits with low concentrations of citric acid including apricots, mangoes, figs, strawberries, peaches and plums.
Form: | Granulated |
- The proper usage varies upon the recipe and the acidity of the beverage.
- Acidity can be measured with the use of an acidometer or pH acid test papers.
- One teaspoon per gallon (1.3mL per 1L) increases the total acidity by 0.1%.
- The typical acidity for wine is 3 to 4pH.
- The typical acidity for beer is 5 to 6pH.
