Burton Water Salts
Type: Water Agent Use: Mash Time: 60.0 min Use for: Water Agent Notes: Also known as brewing salts, it is a mixture of Gypsum, Potassium Chloride and Epsom Salt. Used to harden water.
Calcium Chloride
Type: Water Agent Use: Mash Time: 60.0 min Use for: Water Agent Notes: Alters water profile and pH of mash. Use the BeerSmith Water Profile tool to determine amount to add.
Epsom Salt (MgSO4)
Type: Water Agent Use: Mash Time: 60.0 min Use for: Water Agent Notes: Water agent used to modify water profile. Use the BeerSmith Water Profile tool to determine amount to add.
Name: Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate)
Type: Water Agent Use: Mash Time: 60.0 min Use for: Water Agent Notes: Reduces PH of water for mashing and sparging. Alters water profile -- used to harden soft water. Use the BeerSmith Water Profile tool to determine amount to add.
Name: Lactic Acid
Type: Water Agent Use: Mash Time: 60.0 min Use for: Mash pH Notes: Used to lower the pH of the mash without altering the water profile. Lower pH mashes generally improves head retention, increases extraction rate.
