General Question
Why does my rock salt smell like a brewery?
I keep a bin of rock salt stocked on the porch for when it snows or ices, so we don’t have to run out and buy salt every time it starts to ice up.
Last time I bought some, it was a different brand, and the stuff was yellow and smelled strongly of malted barley.
I’m guessing one of two things:
(1) The salt is somehow a byproduct of a brewery
(2) There’s some chemical that smells like a brewery that’s on the salt
Anybody know?
