necessary for IPAs
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.

It works, not sure what else to say
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.

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

Water adjustment
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.

Adding gypsum was a huge improvement
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.

A must have
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.

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

Works Good for stuck fermentation of meads
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.

Water treatment 101- Gypsum
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.
