Hello,
In the May-June 2012 issue of BYO they have a comment in the Tripel recipe as such:
This is the first time I have heard a recommendation like this, and I do not think I've ever saw a distinction in the hot break as above.
Can someone help me understand what causes the recommendation above, and how CaCl2 would affect this? Also, using the primer, would I need to be concerned with this distinction?
Thanks!

Boil until your hot break appears, then examine it. If it appears as big, fluffy, "snowflake-like" flakes, then proceed with boil. If it consists of tiny granules of break material (or if you measure the wort pH and it is above 5.2), add 1/4 tsp. CaC12.
This is the first time I have heard a recommendation like this, and I do not think I've ever saw a distinction in the hot break as above.
