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.

Discussion
Excellent English Pale Ale (Similar to Bass Ale)
2011-05-09 9:35pm
This English Pale Ale turned out excellent. Very comparable to Bass Ale. The molasses and brown sugar give it a little something extra. Mild for a pale ale, not too hoppy or bitter. Fermented for two weeks, then aged in bottles 5-6 weeks. Sediment was low, but next time I will condition in secondary for a couple weeks. I plan to brew this again in a double batch and keg next time.
