Gypsum 1 lb

Gypsum 1 lb is an essential component in your beer-making process, especially if you're aiming to condition your water. This product is renowned for its ability to harden water, which can intensify the flavors of your hops and potentially boost the starting gravity of your wort.

When you incorporate Gypsum into your wort, it assists in the clarification process by prompting particles to merge and increase in size. These larger particles, created with the assistance of Gypsum, precipitate from your beer more efficiently. This not only aids in clarifying your brew but also leads to a more consistent hop taste.

Furthermore, Gypsum can help you tackle chill haze. It achieves this by eliminating the particles that cause this common problem in beer making. As a result, you can enjoy a clearer, more visually appealing brew.

An additional advantage of using Gypsum is the improved mouthfeel it delivers. This is particularly noticeable if you believe your water is too soft and you're aiming to increase its permanent hardness.

While Gypsum is a potent additive on its own, it's frequently used in conjunction with calcium chloride and sodium chloride. These three components together form a traditional trio for water conditioning in beer making. If you don't have a specific reason for using Gypsum alone, you might consider using Burton's Water Salts. This product combines the three additives, offering benefits beyond what Gypsum can provide on its own.

In conclusion, Gypsum 1 lb is a versatile and beneficial addition to your beer-making process, whether you're looking to enhance hop flavors, increase wort gravity, or improve clarity and mouthfeel.

Recommended usage is 1 tsp. per 5 gallons.
