Description
The legendary water of Burton-on-Trent, England is known for extremely high sulfate levels that sharpen hop bitterness to a razor edge and produce the famously dry, minerally finish of classic English IPAs and pale ales. This larger-format packet recreates that assertive mineral profile, transforming RO or distilled water into a true Burton-style base.
Developed in collaboration with Colin Kaminski, co-author of Water: A Comprehensive Guide for Brewers.
