Lactic Acid 88% for Homebrewing | Liquid 4 oz Bottle

Precision pH Control for Better Mash Performance

Lactic Acid (88%) is a powerful and easy-to-use liquid acid that helps brewers fine-tune their mash and sparge water pH. Especially valuable when brewing light-colored beers or using soft water, lactic acid allows you to quickly adjust your brewing water to the optimal pH range—usually 5.2 to 5.4—for improved enzymatic activity, better conversion, and enhanced clarity.

Key Features

  • High Purity (88%): Concentrated solution of lactic acid ideal for precise acidification of brewing water.
  • pH Adjustment: Helps achieve the ideal mash pH range of 5.2 – 5.4 for improved efficiency and flavor balance.
  • 4 oz Dropper Bottle: Convenient size for multiple brew sessions with an easy-pour cap for accurate dosing.
  • Flavor Neutral: Contributes less flavor than acidulated malt or other acid types when used appropriately.
  • Food Grade: Safe for brewing, winemaking, and other fermentation applications.

Perfect For

  • Adjusting mash pH in all-grain brewing
  • Correcting high-alkalinity or hard brewing water
  • Brewers who want fast, reliable pH control
  • Producing bright, crisp lagers or pale ales

Usage Tips

Start with a few drops per gallon of water and measure pH frequently with a reliable meter or test strips. A little goes a long way—always add gradually and stir thoroughly before testing again.
