Brine - Too Much Vinegar, How Increase pH?
« on: July 07, 2013, 03:42:28 PM »
Hi All:

If I've made a Feta brine overly acidic by adding too much white vinegar, can I reverse the effect by adding baking soda or a small amount of Borax?

Thanks,

Milk Maid

Have to make sure commercially whatever you add is GRAS. Baking soda is OK, but easier to titrate and use a base, such as ammonium hydroxide, USP sodium hydroxide, carbonate, etc.
