Calcium Chloride uses:
Because water is the main ingredient in your beer, it is important to make sure that the quality of water that you brew with is a beer worthy!
One of the primary salts used for the boosting of calcium levels in beer, proper calcium levels in beer can lower pH, preserve mash enzymes, increase extract yield, improve yeast growth and flocculation, accelerate oxalate removal, and reduce colour. The chloride ion is believed to promote a palate fullness, sweetness, or mellowness within the flavour profile of the beer.
