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.

The cost is incorrect. It's more like $30 & I used hop pellets.

If you used pellets, just edit your recipe and re-save it. Did that turn out quite bitter? Maybe that's what the judged liked?

I didn't read the recipe properly. I thought you put 4.5 oz hops in a 5 gallon batch. Duh. Look like a good recipe. When you edit your recipe, there is a button on the bottom that says calculate. This is the save button. Cheers
