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.

Beertools asked me to add a comment regarding this recipe. We have had a lot of people ask for this beer for parties. My brew partners and I are flattered so many people like it. It is easy to make and very reproducible. We would like to hear from anyone who makes this.
