Not that it matters, but I think Hydrogen Monoxide will work, because
the "di"
of hydrogen is determined (obviously) by its "ion number" or something of that
sort, but the molecule is literally an H+ ion with an OH- ion tacked on it, so
you're right. I think you could also call it hydroxic acid. More importantly are
the solubility properties which allow the brewing of malted beverages. :)
