Salt?

[MT's AZ Ale Haus]

Probably a dumb question, but is there a difference between the following salts as far as water chemistry and flavor profile in a beer.

Iodized Table Salt
Non-Iodized Table Salt
Sea Salt
Himalayan Pink Salt

 

[BobBailey]

For brewing you don't want iodized salt. Canning salt is probably your best choice. Not sure about the actual chemical makeup of the others.

 

[schematix]

If you use standard table salt in normal brewing concentrations the amount of iodine will be inconsequential.

Sea salt or Himalayan salt often times have other minerals present so unless you want those, just stick with the cheap stuff.

You want to use canning/pickling salt.
