Sodium Carbonate (100 g) — your multipurpose ally in brewing, cleaning, and chemistry

From adjusting mash pH to deep-cleaning your equipment, our food-grade sodium carbonate (commonly known as soda ash) offers reliable performance at home or in the lab.


Why Sodium Carbonate?

  • Raise pH / buffer alkalinity — Commonly used to increase mash pH or temper overly acidic water.

  • Powerful cleaner / degreaser — Effective at breaking down organic residues, beerstone, and grime (especially useful on tubing, fermenters, etc.).

  • Low corrosion / mild on metals — Safer than harsher alkalis when used correctly in diluted solutions.

  • Precise dosing — Easy to measure in small increments for controlled adjustments.

  • Versatile use — Applicable in brewing, winemaking, cleaning, DIY chemistry, and educational projects.


Typical Uses & Guidelines

Application Suggested Use Notes
Brewing / Mash Add small amounts to raise mash pH or buffer water Always monitor pH gradually
Cleaning / Sanitation 0.5–2 % w/v solution for cleaning fermenters, kegs, tubing, equipment Rinse thoroughly after application
Winemaking Occasionally for pH buffering or tartar management Use with restraint; test carefully
Other uses Educational lab, soap making, hobby chemistry Confirm purity and compatibility first

Pro tip: Always pre-dissolve in warm water before applying, and add gradually while stirring. For cleaning, apply diluted solution and allow contact time before rinsing thoroughly.


Specifications & Packaging

  • Net weight: ~100 g

  • Packaging: resealable, moisture-resistant pouch

  • Purity: Food-grade / technical grade (as specified)

  • Appearance: White crystalline powder

  • Do not mix with strong acids in closed containers

  • After cleaning or pH adjustment, always rinse thoroughly to avoid residual alkalinity
