I'm brewing this weekend and used the EZ Water calculator to determine salt additions. I had everything on hand except calcium chloride. Not enough time to order from my usual online brewstore. So I called up a pool supply place and asked if the sold it. They did but the smallest quantity was 4 pounds. I only need 8 grams. I told the guy this and he said stop by the store and he would give me some for free. He ended up giving me 84 grams!
Question. Is calcium chloride used for swimming pools the same as used in brewing? Is there food grade and non food grade?
Thanks!
