        Water adjustments

        I use RO water for brewing and build up my own profiles depending on the style. This is a must.

        It's the best Calcium chloride EVER! all the other Calcium chlorides are vastly inferrior

        Best. Calcium. Chloride. Ever.

        This completely fulfilled my expectations in terms of both calcium and chloride. Exact 1:2 ratio of Ca2+ and Cl-.Really now. I ordered calcium chloride and agar and I keep getting asked to review!

        Works as expected.

        I modify my water for each batch. I need CaCl2 to balance the SO4/Cl ratio.

        The Calcium Cloride I added to my brew mash helped in regulating the PH in my beer.

        Beer needs Calcium Ions.

        Several years ago I read that beer likes calcium ions, which are obtained from calcium chloride. I wouldn't brew without it.

        Outstanding!

        Best Calcium Chloride Ever! As pure as mountain snow! If a calcium ion and two chloride ions got together this would be their baby.

        Perfect size, very dry

        I've purchased water salts from home brew shops that had large clumps. Not from More Beer! Perfectly dry (and stays that way in a Tupperware).

        Water Adjustments

        Use this in conjunction with gypsum for all my water adjustments. I would prefer that it come in a resealable type bag but it can be taped shut.

        Water Profile Addition

        Are you using RO water? You'll probably need this to build up your water profile.

        Purchased for use with RO water exclusively

        I finally got to work on water chemistry. Since I'm not a chemist, I wanted to keep it simple. RO water, CaCl and some lactic acid sure did the trick regarding mash ph. I do add some gypsum for my IPAs, seems to help quite a bit.

        Use this to push your water around to get it where you want it to be. Love this stuff.

        A must have to hit your brewing style

        If you brew all grain and use RO water you must replace the calcium necessary for yeast health. I use this exclusively for malty styles an half and half with Gypsum for hoppy styles.

        Important for All-Grain Brewing

        If you are starting with distilled or RO water, this is one of the most important additions you can make! You a water calculator or spreadsheet to get the results you want.

        Great for Dark Beer

        I've always heard that Chicago water was great for dark beers. While I had a general understanding of why, it never translated into adjusting the water for my light and hoppy beers. I finally broke down and decided to play around play with my water. There was a huge improvement in hop flavor. These water modifiers much more affordable compared to other items I have purchased for this hobby. Once you get the basics of your process, recipes and fermentation down, I highly recommend giving water modification a shot.I've always heard that Chicago water was great for dark beer and never gave much thought to adjusting my water for them. I finally broke down after being disappointed by a mild with a muddled flavor and decided to play around play with my water. I found that my chloride levels were close, but not perfect. I brewed an Irish stout that I've made a few times, only this time I added some calcium chloride and I honestly believe this is the best stout I have ever made. The chocolate malt seems to stand out more than I remember in the other batches.

        Wow this is a lot of CaCl, great for adjusting your water when brewing all grain to get proper pH and flavor.

        An all grain brewer must have!

        This is probably the most used single water modifier used if you start with RO or real soft water. Just use a water calculator online or with your brewing software to hit your targets.

        Says this is anhydrous calcium chloride, but the numbers given for contributions of 1g per gallon are for dihydrate. Which is it?
