DO NOT USE 5.2 stablizer. Gypsum: Mash: 5.0 grams (~1.25 tsp) Sparge: 4.0 grams (~1.0 tsp) Purpose: Drives up sulfates for that crisp, assertive hop bite. Calcium Chloride Mash: 2.0 grams (~0.5 tsp) Sparge: 1.5 grams (~0.4 tsp) Purpose: Provides baseline calcium for yeast health and enzyme activity while keeping chloride restrained. Epsom Salt (may be omitted) Mash: 1.5 grams (~0.3 tsp) Purpose: Provides a touch of magnesium for yeast vitality and adds a extra boost of sulfate. Added 1 mL to sparge water (forgot to add to mash).
