Gypsum 2 oz

Gypsum 2 oz is a valuable addition to your beer-making process, particularly if you're looking to condition your water. This product is known for its ability to harden water, which can enhance the flavors of your hops and potentially increase the starting gravity of your wort.

When you add Gypsum to your wort, it aids in the clarification process by encouraging particles to combine and increase in size. These larger particles, formed with the help of Gypsum, precipitate from your beer more effectively. This not only helps in clarifying your brew but also contributes to a more consistent hop taste.

Moreover, Gypsum can help you combat chill haze. It does this by removing the particles that cause this common issue in beer making. As a result, you can enjoy a clearer, more appealing brew.

An added benefit of using Gypsum is the enhanced mouthfeel it provides. This is particularly noticeable if you feel your water is too soft and you're looking to increase its permanent hardness.

While Gypsum is a powerful additive on its own, it's often used alongside 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 summary, Gypsum 2 oz 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.
