        Essential brewing salt for all-grain brewers, particularly those using RO water. Customers said it "adds MgSO4 to acidify" and "bring out that crisp hop bitterness" in IPAs. Helps dial in SO4/Cl ratios precisely, supports yeast health and flocculation. Highly recommended for water chemistry control.

        For Hoppy Beer and Yeast Health

        I use Epsom Salt to dial in my SO4/Cl ratio to a more exact ratio that I can get with gypsum alone. An added benefit is a little more magnesium in my water which is good for yeast health and flocculation.

        Does what you would expect

        If you are brewing with an all-grain setup water chemistry is a must. The brewing salts from More Beer do the job.
