Raises Residual Alkalinity and mash pH Also known as Pickling or Slaked Lime, it is primarily used in the brewing industry to increase the residual alkalinity of brewing water in the mash / fermenter. Performing a carbonate reduction involves adding slaked lime or "pickling lime" to the water. The problem with this method is that you must calculate the amount of lime to add carefully, and it must be added gradually while monitoring the pH carefully to avoid creating very alkaline water from excess hydroxide. We would highly recommend using BrewFather for your water calculations as Calcium Hydroxide is a mainstay in the water profile analysis section. Rates of addition are typically within the range of 2.0 to 5.0 grams per 100 litre, dependant upon the residual oxygen level in the beer, the degree of contact with air post treatment and the required shelf-life of the product. |
