Citric Acid is an organic acid found in beer normally within the range of 50 to 250 parts per million. It is produced as a result of yeast metabolism and is a key component of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, which is also referred to as the Krebs or citric acid cycle.

Although it contributes to the overall acidity of the beer, citric acid has little impact on the overall flavor. It is sometimes added to increase the acidity of some low-alcohol and nonalcoholic beers where incomplete fermentation fails to increase acidity to an appropriate level.

Craft brewers and homebrewers have occasionally used additions of citric acid to lend some tartness to Belgian-style witbier; although some tartness is traditional, it has historically been the result of lactic bacterial activity. Citric acid has also been used as a cleaning agent, particularly in the removal of “beer-stone” from fermentation vessels.

Reviews

Great quality citric acid, for the best price.

"I use a citric acid & sugar bath to dip mango slices prior to dehydrating them. It improves colour & flavour, extends shelf life and gives the mango a great tangy taste. I also use a citric acid solution to clean the copper scrubbies and plates in my Still. . . . Fun Fact - just like alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar with yeast, commercial citric acid is produced by fermenting sugar with a specific species of mold called Aspergillus Niger. This process is far more cost effective and efficient than juicing and refining millions of lemons."

Love Kegland. . .

"I use Kegland to purchase a range of products for Nancy Birtwhistle's cleaning concoctions such as Sodium Percarbonate (referred to as green bleach) and Citric Acid. These are hard to obtain and have found Kegland to be reasonably priced and a pleasure to deal with (particularly Justin!!). Many thanks and look forward to dealing with you for many years to come."
