Citrol Citric Acid 150g - Acidity Corrector for Wine, Beer & Homebrew
Citrol Citric Acid is a food-grade acidity corrector in fine powder form, designed for homebrewers, winemakers, and cider makers who need to raise the acidity of their must, wort, or finished product with precision and consistency. Supplied in a practical 150g pack, Citrol delivers a clean, reliable acidification effect at a controlled dose rate — making it an essential tool for balancing flavour, improving microbial stability, and correcting underacid musts before or during fermentation.
What makes citric acid a popular choice for acidity correction is its neutral, clean flavour contribution at recommended dose rates, its ease of use in powder form, and its predictable, measurable effect on total acidity. Each addition of 8.5g per 10 litres raises the total acidity by 1 g/L expressed as tartaric acid — the standard measurement used in winemaking and cider production. For brewers working with French-language references, acidity is sometimes expressed in sulfuric acid rather than tartaric acid — to convert, simply divide the tartaric acid figure by 1.53, or multiply the sulfuric acid figure by 1.53 to return to tartaric equivalent.
Whether you're correcting a low-acid white wine must, sharpening the finish on a flat cider, or fine-tuning the pH of a fruit beer addition, Citrol gives you a straightforward, accurate tool for acidity management at every stage of production.
Powder form Citrol is supplied as a fine, free-flowing powder that dissolves quickly and completely in must, wort, or water — no heating or pre-dissolving required under normal use conditions.

Usage
Wine: White wine, rosé, fruit wine — acidity correction of underacid musts Cider: Acidity balancing and flavour sharpening Beer: Fruit beer additions, mash pH adjustment, kettle souring support Mead: Must acidity correction and flavour balance
Dose: 8.5g per 10 litres raises total acidity by 1 g/L (expressed as tartaric acid). Note: Acidity in sulfuric acid = acidity in tartaric acid ÷ 1.53. Acidity in tartaric acid = acidity in sulfuric acid × 1.53.
