Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), also known as baking soda, is a weak base. Baking soda should not be confused with baking powder.

It can be added to brewing water before the mash in order to increase mash pH. Sodium bicarbonate should never be added to sparge water.

Where to purchase:

• Plenty of local stores carry baking soda
• 8oz box on Amazon
