Alternative to Buttermilk

What can you use instead of buttermilk?

Tonight I'm planing on trying a buttermilk alternate - Bextartar - in my Brown Soda Bread recipe. The Bextartar works by provided the acidic reaction with the alkaline Bread Soda so as to rise the dough - let's see tonight how it works and tastes. The full report tomorrow.

Update: Bextartar is a brand name; the generic name is Cream of Tartar; when Bread Soda and Cream of Tartar powders are mixed you get Baking Power, a raising agent. In the recipes I use the mixture is 1 teaspoon of bread Soda and 2 teaspoons of cream of Tartar for each 1lb of flour.
