Brewer notes

Calcium chloride adds calcium and chloride to brewing liquor. Often used to support a rounder, maltier palate; dose from the actual water analysis rather than a fixed spoon measure. This catalogue entry places it in the mash stage; confirm that timing against the specific product and recipe.
