Irish Moss - (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

Very nice Oktoberfest. Brought the keg to a AZ style Oktoberfest party and the keg was gone in a couple of hours. I will add 1/4lb 40LL Crystal malt to add a bit more caramel sweetness next time.
