Can kosher salt be added at bottling?

I was going to add one/half teaspoon of salt to a 5-gal batch of stout at the mashing stage, but forgot it.  Can I just put it into the water I boil with my priming sugar?

Thanks in advance for your advice,

I don’t see why not.

The question is not ‘can you’. The question is ‘should you’. Of course you can. …but not everything we can do we should do.

Taste the Stout with and without a smidge of salt. IMO, in a full flavored Stout, you’ll never taste the difference of 1/2 tsp in a 5 gal batch.

Exactly my thinking, too.

Some people like salt in everything.  It’s what their palates are used to.
