Potassium Carbonate - 1kg
Delivery Australia-wide: $16 for this item on its own (based on cart total).
Potassium Carbonate - 1kg is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Potassium Carbonate is an alkaline salt used to deacidify wine and juice. It raises pH and reduces titratable acidity (TA), so a sharp, over-acidic must or wine becomes more balanced and ferments more readily. It can be added at any stage of winemaking. This is a 1kg pack.

| When to add | At any stage of winemaking. It's most common before fermentation |
How to use
- Test the TA or pH of your juice or wine.
- Dissolve a small measured amount in a little water. It will fizz in the wine as CO2 is released.
- Stir it in slowly, allowing for foaming.

FAQ
What is potassium carbonate used for in winemaking?
Deacidifying wine or juice that's too acidic, raising pH and lowering TA for a better-balanced wine.
Is potassium carbonate the same as potash?
Yes. It's also called pearl ash.
Potassium carbonate or calcium carbonate?
Both reduce acidity. Potassium carbonate mainly removes tartaric acid and is gentler on flavour; calcium carbonate (chalk) is also used for water treatment.
