Hey everyone! I am gearing up to make a belgian tripel recipe I found, and it called for invert sugar. Using the interwebs, I found the following recipe
Table sugar: 1kg
water: 2 cups
lactic acid 88%: 3ml
I raised it slowly to 113c, and ended up with a light coloured syrup, a little yellow. That's what I wanted
Now I'm no chemist, but that acid I put in. 3ml of lactic... that was a catalyst, and it's still in there, right?
So when I do my brew, I should pay attention to that lactic acid for my water adjustments?
Or am I missing something?
What do others do?
Thanks!!!!
