Lactic Acid

Lactic Acid 80% is a food-grade acid developed for pH control and alkalinity reduction in brewing and food processing applications. The product is widely used to optimise process conditions and improve overall production performance.

Derived from the fermentation of beet and cane sugars, Lactic Acid provides effective and controlled pH adjustment throughout the brewing process. It supports improved mash performance, enhances wort clarity, and contributes to better filtration and stability.

This food-grade acid is particularly suitable for use in breweries, where it helps optimise extract yield, fermentability, and process consistency. It is ideal for beer styles where the addition of anions is not desired, such as lagers and pilsners, and can also be used for fine pH adjustment during processing.

Lactic Acid 80% is designed for controlled pH adjustment and alkalinity reduction in process systems, and is suitable for:

• Brewing liquor treatment
• Mash pH adjustment
• Wort pH correction
• Post-fermentation pH control
• General food processing pH adjustment

Lactic Acid 80% is a hazardous acidic product and must be handled with care.
