Use of gypsum

Grinnan5150 · Mar 6, 2012

I have always used gypsum in my mash water because I have been told I should. My beers usually turn out pretty good. I use spring water from the store for my brewing. If I am using store bought spring water is gypsum really necessary?

Check out the brew science area in the main forum page. Click on the "water primer" sticky. You'll be enamored!

In a nutshell, no.
