Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) - 2 oz

Calcium Sulfate • Adds Calcium & Sulfate • Sharpens Hop Character

Gypsum (calcium sulfate) is the classic brewing water salt for hop-forward beers. It raises calcium and sulfate, lowering mash pH and accentuating a crisp, dry, assertive hop bitterness. It's the salt behind the famously bitter pale ales of Burton-on-Trent.

How to Use

• Add to the mash or boil to raise calcium and sulfate.
• Typical rate: 1 tsp per 5 gallons; adjust to your water profile.
• Favor sulfate-forward additions for IPAs and pale ales.
