I found a lot of useful information here - http://forum.moderndistiller.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1109; apologies for going off-forum ::)

The molar mass of baking powder is pretty much 84, while citric acid is 192, about 2.25 times heavier. a 50/50 mix by gram weight thus makes the buffer more acid than a 50/50 mix by molecular weight.

My practical results the last three washes seem to suggest by gram weight is close enough. Saves baking powder..!

Cheers

That thread is where I got started with buffering too.
