Sodium bicarbonate

i hear allot about buffers like lime (Sodium carbonate0 but what about baking soda (Sodium bicarbonate)
NaHCO3 = sodium bicarbonate = baking soda Na2CO3 = sodium carbonate = baking powder
Sodium bicarbonate decomposes at a low temperature to make sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water vapor 2NaHCO3(s) --heat--> Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g)
the PH is 7ish..
anyone??

Sodium bicarbonate is a salt.
Salt is toxic to fungi.

so it would be OK if you put it in before pasteurizing right?
Above 70 °C, sodium bicarbonate gradually decomposes into sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide. The conversion is fast at 250 °C

Excess sodium is toxic to fungi.
You want to use calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime) to adjust ph.

Sodium bicarbonate will kill your mycelium. Try it on a test batch.
