Is what you buy at woolies or other suitable for brewing?
@LC, so you believe the Epsom salts in the supermarket intended for use in baths, etc, is food quality & totally fine for consumption?Yes.

different bath saltsCan you smoke them?
@LC, yeah, i was wondering about purity of non-LHBS epsom salts a few day ago - i was chucking a bit around the garden from a small bag i bought at bunnings, the crystals looked homogenous and identical to the LHBS stuff. I know that's a bit loose to assume equal purity, but it made me wonder how different the 2 were given it really looked identical.
In my understanding, magnesium additions are only necessary when using high amounts of adjunct. All malt beers (or mostly malt beers) should have sufficient provided by the yeast and too much is never a good thing.
Produce stores that sell to race horse trainers have food grade cheaper then bunnings fertiliser and a quarter of the price of LHBS seems to have gone up in price by 30%@LC, yeah, i was wondering about purity of non-LHBS epsom salts a few day ago - i was chucking a bit around the garden from a small bag i bought at bunnings, the crystals looked homogenous and identical to the LHBS stuff.

Aldi call their version "Medix" which is as good as drink the stuff if you like but we didn't tell you that nudge wink.
I use it in bronzed brews for reasons explained by Manticle, and for Burtonising.
