Calcium Chloride - 250g

$3.15

Calcium chloride is a crystalline salt with the chemical formula CaCl2. It is solid at room temperature and highly soluble in water. It is one of the primary components in the measurement of permanent water hardness.

In brewing calcium chloride may be added to brewing water to increase calcium levels. Proper calcium levels in brewing water can:

  • reduce mash pH
  • preserve mash enzymes
  • increase extract yield
  • improve yeast growth and flocculation
  • accelerate oxalate removal
  • reduce colour.

Chloride is believed to promote a palate fullness, sweetness, or mellowness within the flavour profile of beer.

Before adding salts to your brewing water you should obtain a water analysis report to enable you to calculate the amount of salts in your brewing water after making any additions. Refer to the Brewing Resources page for some links to water chemistry calculators.
