I seem to be having trouble getting 200g of tartaric acid at a reasonable price, anyone got a reasonable source in the UK?zed - 8-12-2017 at 16:02
What? You can't find "Cream of Tartar"? Should be around.
Looks pretty cheap in the U.S.. More spendy in the UK.
UK postage seems to be expensive. But, I have heard the service is lightning quick. Is this true?
Hereabouts, in the U.S., I can get half a kilo of Tartaric acid, reasonably priced.... And, they ship it to me for free.

Didnt occur to me!! Yes i can get cream of tartar, your right about the price being a rip off though.
Thx for pointing out the obvious , nest time i will think it through better
(actually thats unlikely). Still strange you dont come across it on ebay etc as Tartaric acid.
Must be one of those days, i have a list of stuff to order, i wrote this over several days. I have been slowly getting it ordered, except today I
ordered GAA AND Ethanoic acid :S.
Must be in stupid mode today

Don't know about U.K., but tartaric acid is sold here at brewer's/winemaker's supply houses.Sulaiman - 9-12-2017 at 02:26
but if it is to make something like Rochelle salt then buying the salt may be easier and cheaper.
P.S. I'm not sure but I seem to remember reading somewhere that Cream of Tartar often contains substitutes for tartaric acid.

Thats really odd, i just ordered a load of stuff from them, i didnt see it anywhere!! Cant believe i now got to order yet more from them lol.
Thx for the link. I dont drink, so always fail to consider wine making places for stuff. PirateDocBrown - 9-12-2017 at 17:54
I use the local brew and wine supply place for potassium bitartrate, tartaric acid, citric acid, potassium metabisulfite, tannic acid, calcium
sulfate, all kinds of stuff.
