Another Elderflower IPA question - Citric acid

[kestlemill]

OK, another question on my elderflower IPA. The elderflower cordial I have already made contains citric acid added by me to guard against infection. Is this going to kill the yeast when i make my brew? The % citric acid in the solution is approx 1.8% (180g in 10 litres) and will go down to more like 0.1% if I add approx a litre to my brew.

Any thoughts?? Thanks!

I reckon you're overthinking this. People add citric acid to all sorts of things without hurting the yeast, and it's in cordial recipes to add much needed bite, not (as far as I know) to guard against infection. Just bung the cordial in a moment before flameout, and worry no more
