Sulfato de Calcio ($CaSO_4$): 7 gramos totales. Cloruro de Calcio ($CaCl_2$): 3 gramos totales. Distribuirlas de la siguiente forma: 1) En el Macerado (aprox. 15-18 litros): 3.5 g de Sulfato de Calcio. 1.5 g de Cloruro de Calcio. Esto ayudará a que las enzimas conviertan mejor tus 4.4 kg de grano y que el pH baje naturalmente. 2) En el Agua de Lavado (el resto hasta completar hervor): 3.5 g de Sulfato de Calcio. 1.5 g de Cloruro de Calcio.
