do you neutralise tannic acid
Scotch is mildly acidic because it undergoes maturation in oak casks for a number of years. It gains Tannic Acid from the wood. Most people are familiar with tannins wine.
from what i have read, tannic acid is in coffee, and is potentially harmful to the human body.ANSWER:Tannic acid is common to decomposing oak, maple and mahogany leaves and bark. It is the commercial form of tannin. It is primarily used in the preservation of animal and mainly cow skins. Thus the uses 'tanning', to 'tan' or a 'tanned' hide.

Horse spunk fermented in an oak barrel.
Tree sap, usually from an Oak.
Tannic acid, found in oak leaves (among other places).
The leaves and acorns of the Oak tree are poisonous to horses in large amounts, due to the toxin tannic acid, and cause kidney damage and gastroenteritis.
Acorns and oak leaves contain tannic acid, which is poisonous to horses. One acorn won't kill him, but too many definitely can.
There are many ways:suspend lamp black in oiltannic acid and sodium ferrocyanide (sometimes called iron gall ink, because the source of tannic acid was oak tree galls)etc.

I've been wondering the same thing. I have a great many scrub oaks taking over my property and have been eating one of two acorns a day for the past few weeks without any problems. As for a full serving of acorns? I have no knowledge yet, but i just collected a few pounds and I am going to attempt to cook up a dish with them tonight. Wish me luck!
Tannin . It is used for ink and dyes and in the leather making industry.
Yes, but they contain Tannic Acid, which upsets your stomach. To get rid of the Tannic Acid, Toss the nuts into a large pot, and cover them with plenty of water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for about 15 minutes. The water will turn brown as the tannic acid is extracted from the kernels. Throw out the water and replace it with fresh water. Re-boil the acorns, throwing out the brown water several times until the water is clear. The boiling process takes about two or three hours, though the time varies with the amount of tannic acid in the acorns. When you are finished, the acorns will no longer taste bitter and will have turned a darker brown. The nuts have a flavor similar to boiled chestnuts. Unless you want to use them wet, you need to dry out the nuts. Spread them out on cookie sheets and roast them in an oven at about 200 degrees F for an hour. You can eat the roasted nuts or chop them up to use as you would any chopped nuts. They can be dipped in sugar and eaten as candy.
Oak is high in tannins. Red wine is also high in tannins and can also leave dark stains. Wet oak will produce a similar result. There are commercial products that will remove oak stains, such as 'CLR'. Another way is with muriatic Acid, available from hardware shops or builders stores. Muriatic Acid is very corrosive and poisonous. Follow the instructions carefully.

White Oak acorns are THE prefered acorn because of the lower tanic acid levels, which cause the bitterness. Deer, like humans prefer foods that taste good and will seek out the sweetest acorns in their area.
