  • 1.50 tsp Irish Moss - Add 15 minutes prior to end of boil (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.

After 4 weeks this was pretty darn good. After 8 weeks even better. After 12 weeks, holy crap is it better than the original brewery's. Won't be paying someone else to brew it for me. Definately will be giving these as gifts.
