I'm looking at a Pork Bratwurst recipe from the Len Poli Website. Among the ingredients, it calls for 1 tsp Phosphate and 1/8 tsp Ascorbic Acid. I have some Amesphos powder and I'm assuming that is the same type of Phosphate called for in the recipe. As far as the Ascorbic (Citric) acid goes, would I be OK to just take a bit of Encapsulated Citic Acid and run it through my spice grinder to get the powderd stuff? What about simply running a couple of Citric Acid tablets through the grinder to get my Ascorbic Acid? Would either of these ways work, or would you suggest I buy regular Ascorbic acid powder.
Thanks,
