Bicarb = Baking Soda?

[Alps]

Is bicarb baking soda or baking powder? Also, the purpose is to help the yeast last longer and make the co2 output more stable right?

Thanks for the clarifications

Take a look at this article:

It says bicarb is used to stabilise the mix for those with softwater

bicarb is short for bicarbonate of soda
