Gypsum, also known as calcium sulfate, is added to the brewing or winemaking process to adjust the calcium and sulfate levels of the water used.
In beer production, gypsum is added to the mash during the brewing process to adjust the water chemistry and help control the pH of the mash. This can result in a better extraction of fermentable sugars from the grains and a clearer, more stable beer. Gypsum can also be added during the fermentation process to help enhance the flavor and aroma of the finished beer.
In winemaking, gypsum can be used to help clarify the wine and improve the texture and mouthfeel. It can also be used to adjust the pH of the must, which is the crushed grapes and juice used to make the wine. This can help ensure proper fermentation and improve the stability of the finished wine.
Add 1-2 tsp per 5 gallons.
