Oxalic acid can engender a range of problems in beer, including the blockage of dispensing pipes by beer stones, as well as turbidity and gushing [42, 43]. Importance of sufficient calcium to precipitate the material as calcium oxalate is notable.[1] Oxalic acid was not detectable in barley. Concentrations of oxalate in kernels increased during germination, although the amounts decreased near the end of germination.

Beer typically contains around 5 to 30 mg/L of oxalate ions.[2]
