Phosphoric Acid 81% is a high-purity, food-grade acid developed for brewing applications requiring precise pH control and hygienic process conditions. The product is widely used for alkalinity reduction in brewing liquor and for yeast acid washing.

Unlike other acid blends, phosphoric acid lowers alkalinity without significantly altering the chloride or sulphate balance of the brewing water. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where precise mineral control is required.

In brewing operations, Phosphoric Acid 81% is commonly used for yeast acid washing, a controlled process that reduces bacterial contamination in yeast slurries while maintaining yeast performance. When applied correctly under controlled temperature and pH conditions, it ensures improved fermentation reliability and hygiene.

The product is suitable for use in breweries and beverage production facilities where consistent water chemistry and microbiological control are essential for product quality.
