Description
Calcium Chloride
Calcium Chloride is hydrated calcium chloride used to correct mineral deficiencies in water which is to be used for brewing. It is used in de-mineralized or soft to medium hard water to increase permanent hardness. Calcium Chloride is effective in eliminating the variations in composition often encountered in water from surface sources. It will help establish proper pH of the mash and the wort and provide sufficient calcium ions essential for enzyme function, kettle protein coagulation and yeast metabolism. Calcium Chloride is used to increase the calcium content and hardens your brew water while lowering your mash pH. Used typically in lighter styles, it has natural sweetness and can help to promote a fuller ‘mouthfeel’ and enhances malt sweetness.
