- 2 tsp
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.
- 1 tsp
Wyeast Nutrient - (omitted from calculations)
Wyeast Nutrient
Although wort is a good growth medium for yeast, additional Wyeast Nutrient will reduce lag time, improve yeast viability and provide consistent attenuation rates. Low assimilable nitrogen concentrations (FAN) of grape must or wort have long been known as a cause of sluggish or stuck fermentations. Wyeast yeast nutrient, a blend of vitamin B's, minerals, inorganic nitrogen (DAP), organic nitrogen (amino acids), zinc, phosphates and other trace elements will benefit yeast growth and carbohydrate uptake for a more rapid, complete fermentation. Use 1/4 tsp per pint for beer propagation, 1 tsp per 5 gallons for wine or beer fermentation or 1.5 oz per 10 barrels for beer fermentation.

Discussion
Fermentation

Half of the batch was fermented with WLP940 and the other half with Wyeast 2278. Fermented at 55 degrees F.
Fermentation results

The batch with WLP940 had a FG of 1.010, the batch with Wyeast 2278 had a FG of 1.005. Both taste great.
Tasting Results

Both batches were tasted last night at the Downriver Brewers Guild. The Wyeast Fermentation won the taste-off, but the WLP 940 was a very close second.
Hot weather beer

This pils is nearly perfect for the weather here. 90 degrees and 100 hum. I know that doesn't mean much to the folks in the deep south, but it's killer up here in Michigan.
