Notes

1/2 tsp calsium sulfate (2 g) as water treatment.
reason: adding Ca+2(calcium) lowers ph and aids enzyme activity. Adding SO4-2(sulfate) accentuates hop bitterness. Ideally I would add 1/4 tsp (1g) Calcium cloride, but I did not have any available on brew day. Cloride would accentuate maltiness.
