Sulphuric Acid for home brewing - sources?

(That's water to the rest of us!) Beer is about 95% water, so if you want to discuss water treatment, filtering etc this is the place to do it!

Sulphuric Acid for home brewing - sources?

Post by dojodan » Fri Sep 18, 2015 1:18 pm

Hi all,

I have searched but could find very limited information... apologies if this has been covered elsewhere!

Now that Murphy and Sons appear to have closed their home brew online shop, does anyone know of a source for sulphuric acid for home brewing?

I've been looking at water chemistry quite closely using the Bru'n water spreadsheet. There doesn't seem to be a way I can hit my required numbers for everything without using a combination of sulphuric and phosphoric acid.

Most home brew suppliers stock phosphoric but I can't find anything for sulphuric... I know it's all the same stuff but I prefer to buy from home brew shops. Will it just be a case of finding food grade / lab grade sulphuric from another source?

Thanks!

Dan

These people sell it.

Whichever strength you buy it would be worth testing it's strength yourself before using it.
