Sodium bicarbonate is a salt that breaks down to form sodium and bicarbonate in water. This makes a solution alkaline, meaning it's able to neutralize acid. Sodium Bicarbonate is also a pH buffer and can be used to adjust the pH in a high sugar (sucrose, fructose, molasses etc) distillers wash. Raises Residual Alkalinity and mash pH. Sodium Bicarbonate is suitable for brewing dark beers, which require a CO32-concentration of at least 150 ppm. It is used for increasing Residual Alkalinity in the brewing water as well as raising the mash pH. Additions can be put in the brewing water or directly into the mash. Baking soda is the primary leavening ingredient in most baked goods. When combined with an acidic ingredient present in the batter, a chemical reaction occurs under high temperatures. Carbon dioxide bubbles, which promote rising in cakes, cookies, and other baked goods, are produced.Sodium bicarbonate is an alkaline compound and, as such, it neutralizes acidic substances. Distillers use Sodium bicarbonate to buffer pH and raise pH in high acid washes to help the yeast and fermentation. Dosage Guidance: Brewers: Used for increasing Residual Alkalinity in the brewing water as well as raising the mash pH. Distillers: Add sodium bicarbonate at 1g/Litre (per final volume) to help buffer your fermentations. Particularly useful in high sugar or fructose fermentations e.g. Molasses Rum Washes, Agave Syrup Washes or Sugar Vodka Washes.
