Acids, Salts & Water Treatment

Water chemistry is a crucial factor in brewing, affecting everything from mash efficiency and yeast health to flavor balance and mouthfeel. Adjusting your brewing water with acids, salts, and water treatments ensures optimal pH levels, mineral composition, and brewing performance, allowing you to replicate classic water profiles or fine-tune your own.

Our Acids, Salts & Water Treatment collection includes brewing salts like gypsum (calcium sulfate), calcium chloride, Epsom salt, and sodium bicarbonate to adjust hardness and balance malt and hop character. Lactic acid and phosphoric acid provide precise pH adjustments for mash efficiency and fermentation health, while Campden tablets help remove chlorine and chloramine for cleaner-tasting beer.

Whether you're aiming for a soft water profile for a crisp Pilsner, a sulfate-heavy water for a bold West Coast IPA, or a balanced profile for traditional English ales, these water treatments give you full control over your brewing chemistry for better flavor, consistency, and efficiency.
