Welcome to the Chemicals and Sanitizers Section
These additives are used when your brewing water is either too soft or too hard. It adds needed ions for better results in your wort.

Before using these, however, we recommend you request a water report from your local water company to find out the hardness or softness. It's better not to have to guess at this question!
