Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate)
Enhance hop flavor and bitterness with Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate), a brewing salt used to adjust water chemistry for hop-forward beers. By increasing calcium levels and supporting proper mash pH, gypsum helps sharpen hop perception and improve fermentation performance, making it well suited for IPAs, pale ales, and other hop-driven styles. Gypsum is intended for brewers working with soft, distilled, or reverse osmosis water who want greater control over mineral balance. It is commonly used to emphasize crisp bitterness, improve clarity, and support yeast health during fermentation. This product contains four ounces of calcium sulfate suitable for precise brewing water adjustments. It adds calcium without increasing chloride levels, allowing brewers to promote hop sharpness while maintaining a clean finish. To use, dissolve the appropriate amount in brewing water or add directly to the mash according to your recipe and target water profile. Dosage should be adjusted based on batch size, b
