Used for lowering the pH level (increasing acidity) as well as increasing the mineral content (hardness) of the water you will be using for mashing. Calcium is an essential component used during the mash process to increase enzyme activity. It is also a necessary trace element, vital for vigorous yeast propogation during the fermentation process.

Addition of Calcium Sulphate can help promote clarity, flavor, and stability in the finished beer.

Calcium Sulphate also accentuates the bitterness of hops but must be used sparingly or you may end up with a brew that is too astringent.

*** Calcium Sulphate is also known for its laxative effect...so once again, don't overdo its use! ***
