Description

Calcium carbonate or CaCO3 is precipitated chalk.

Description

Calcium carbonate is used to reduce the acidity of wine. It does not require cold-stabilization to force complete precipitation, as does potassium carbonate. However, calcium carbonate is more likely to affect the flavor than potassium carbonate, and may take a few months to fully precipitate. One-quarter ounce (about 4 teaspoons) of calcium carbonate reduces acidity in one gallon by about 0.25%. Foaming may occur because of the production of CO2. Do not use more than one ounce per gallon. Wait 24 hours and rack wine.

Calcium carbonate is also used in beer to increase the pH and temporary hardness of the water in the mash. Traditionally used in English stouts, pale ales and bitters.

Usage: Usage varies with acid level

Dosage: 1 gram per gallon usually adds 106 ppm calcium and 158 ppm carbonate.

Common name: Chalk
