Water Treatment Salts
A product which is a mixture of mineral salts formulated to correct mineral deficiencies in water which is to be used for brewing. They are used in soft to medium hard water to increase hardness and salinity. Used as directed, water treatment salts are effective in eliminating the variations in composition often encountered in water from surface sources. They help establish proper pH of the mash and the wort. In contrast to gypsum, which is often used for water treatment and which supplies only the mineral calcium, water treatment salts provide the mineral magnesium, which has been found to be below the optimum level for yeast nutrition in many breweries. Chloride ions, provided by water treatment salts, are often noted for their ability to impart a full-bodied taste to the beer. -- 50 pounds
