- 1 tsp
Irish Moss - Boil for 15 min. (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.

Notes
I mistook Munich malt as Wheat and 1kg of Munich was mixed with Pilsner malt. I could not reverse the mix, so I changed the recipe as follows. Munich 115g -> 1000g Wheat 1875g -> 990g Rice Hulls 190g -> 100g Boil time for the aroma hop (Zeus) was also increased to 10 min. The amounts of the mashing water and the sparging water were adjusted as suggested by BeerTools. Brewed on 1/4/18. The OG was 1.056. The original plan was as follows. ------------------------- Add 1/12 tsp of Campden powder to both the mashing water and the sparging water. Add 1tsp of gypsum to the mashing water. Mashing water : 13.05 litters Sparging water: 18.89 litters 2 step temperature mashing with mash-out. Protein rest: 50C 20min Saccharification rest: 67C 60min Mash-out: 75.6C 10min Strike temp. 54.9C
