Potassium Carbonate (100g)
To summarize Potassium carbonate (K2CO3) an important chemical used in the making of distilled spirits. Used to adjust the pH of the spirit, as well as to raise the alcohol content. Also used to control the acidity of the spirit. Improving the mouthfeel and flavor of the spirit. Used to buffer the mash against pH changes. Not allowing it to go to low. A white powder or as colorless solid crystal and has a salty taste.
How to use Potassium carbonate in distilling.
1. Firstly, use a pH meter to measure. The pH should be between 8.5 and 9.5. If the pH is too low, add potassium carbonate to the distillate to increase it.
2. Secondly, add a few grams. Stir until the potassium carbonate is dissolved.
3. Thirdly, heat then as it begins to boil, the alcohol will begin to rise.
4. Collect that and collect them in a vessel.
5. It will mix with the potassium carbonate in the distilling solution. This will reduce the acidity of the alcohol and make it smoother.
6. Repeat until the amount of alcohol you want is collected. Be sure to check the pH of the distillate throughout the process and add more if needed.
