Using Citric Acid in Winemaking

Frequently Asked Questions
Is citric acid suitable for homemade cordials?
Yes. It is commonly used to add sharpness to elderflower and fruit cordials. Use the amount specified by your recipe.
Is citric acid the same as lemon juice?
No. Lemon juice contains citric acid alongside water, flavour compounds and other constituents. Citric acid powder provides acidity without the full flavour of fresh lemon juice.
