First time adjusting water chemistry. Worked great.

Water chemistry adjustment

Bought this with the LaMotte water test kit to boost sulfate for brewing IPA. A pound ought to be a lifetime supply for a homebrewer.

I have had to clip the bag shut, and then put inside another zip-lock bag. It would be nice if these came in re-sealable bags.

It’s gypsum! Packaged well and works as expected.

We add some to all of out hop forward recipes. It makes a noticeable difference.

Amazing price for the amount you get.

high quality and pure...makes adjusting water easy!

Use it for increasing hop perception in finished beers.

Great value and quality product.

Want your IPA's and Pale Ales to shine? Give this stuff a try and it will really bring out the hops. Of course you should get your water tested before using it.

good quality and price

The Gypsum came in good condition and seems to work great.

Depending on your city's water profile, this will most likely be needed to get more pop out of the hops you use and make an IPA taste not so flat.would prefer that the packaging was a tub and not a bag, though.

I add this to any beer I'm looking for a hop pop. If you havent experimented with gypsum in hoppy beers give it a try, the price is excellent on this product.

Water treatments are one of those things that are easy to "over-engineer". I use EZ water and the Water book. Use it correctly, and it makes a 30pt. beer a 40pt. beer.

Great packaging, ease of use, great for adjustment.

I always have salts and treatment at hand, I enjoy the complete control of every aspect of my brews. Gypsum is a common addition.

This is a great way to change your water chemistry to dial in site-specific brewing profiles. Gypsum (calcium sulfate) can increase the perceived bitterness of hops and would be an appropriate addition in hoppy, English styles.1lb will last for a while. I would gladly buy this again and recommend it to anyone looking to take their brewing practices to a new level of intricacy.

I always had problems with my IPA's. Gypsum definitely helped.

Part of the basic three additions I use to get the desired water I need. As others noted it can be used to bring out hoppiness.

I've always heard that Chicago water was great for dark beers. While I had a general understanding of why, it never translated into adjusting the water for my light and hoppy beers. I finally broke down and decided to play around play with my water. There was a huge improvement in hop flavor. These water modifiers much more affordable compared to other items I have purchased for this hobby. Once you get the basics of your process, recipes and fermentation down, I highly recommend giving water modification a shot.

If you want to notice your hops, you need this. Great for IPA's, Pale Ales, and any other style that hops flavor and bitterness is an aspect of. A simple way to make your beers brighter and bolder.

If you are brewing with an all-grain setup, water chemistry is a must. The brewing salts from More Beer do the job. If you are brewing a hop forward beer, this'll do the trick.

There's not a lot you can say about gypsum except it does what it does, but you won't run out too soon with this deal.

Fun trick; sprinkle a little into your IPA glass to bring out the hops in your cold beer.

I put a little gypsum into my fermenter when I have a stuck fermentation of my meads it helps the fermentation process. Also good for letting the IBU's shine in IPA, Pales.

This bag of gypsum will help sharpen your hoppy beers for a long time to come. That said, it is not a unmanageable volume and stores nicely in a mason jar.

I made a lot of good beers before I used gypsum, but never a great IPA. You can tell a difference in the "crispness" of your hoppy beers when using this. Thanks MoreBeer!

Man this will last a lot of brews. Get for adjusting your water to achieve proper pH and end flavor.

When I changed from extract to all grain my pale ales went from great to lame. They lacked hoppiness, the aroma was soapy, dull. Adding 4-8 grams to the brew (3-5g in the mash and a little in the boil) gave me back my hoppy-mojo.Even without analyzing a water report or understanding residual alkalinity, all-grain pale ales and IPAs benefit from gypsum in the mash. Extract brewers don't need to worry as much because the extract makers adjust the water for the mash, but if your beers lack the hop aroma and flavor you want, add more hops and a few grams of gypsum.

Professional brewers world wide add Gypsum to their beers to 'run up' the hop impact. It is said you simply can't make a great IPA without it. Many brewers use it in the range of 1-2 grams per gallon, but without it some have reported a 'soapy' tang from their hops. This is of course hop type or blend related to some degree. Try it and you be the judge... Cheers!

Lots and lots of gypsum. Not much to add beyond that.
