GYPSUM
(Calcium Sulphate)

Hi & thanks for visiting us here at Crossmyloof Brew. Looking to treat your lovely beer or wine, make tofu or cultivate mushrooms?

In Beer. Calcium sulphate (Gypsum) is used for adding minerals to brewing water. Useful for adding calcium if the water is low in sulphate. It can be used to add sulphate “crispness” to the hop bitterness. The amount required will depend on your base water calcium sulphate content.

Good to know. Mixing Magnesium Sulphate and Gypsum is commonly referred to as Burton Water Salts

Other Uses. Widely used for Mushroom cultivation and in Tofu making, where it’s used as a coagulant. It can also be used as a food additive, i.e. used as an anticaking agent, dough conditioner and strengthener, flour treatment agent, pH regulator, thickener and yeast food.

Have a very happy brew day. Cheers from Symon and the CML Team!
