Irish Moss 1 oz

Irish Moss, a key ingredient in beer making, is typically used in the last 5-15 minutes of the boil. This natural product aids in clarifying your beer by causing smaller particles to attach to each other. The larger particles created by the Irish Moss then precipitate from your beer more efficiently and swiftly.

An interesting observation is that beers conditioned in bottles with the use of Irish Moss tend to have a more solid yeast cake. This results in a clear, well-poured beer, enhancing your overall beer brewing and drinking experience.

The effectiveness of Irish Moss can be attributed to its rich source of carrageenan. Commonly used as a thickener and stabilizer in milk products like ice cream and processed foods, carrageenan's thickening properties lend themselves to the clarifying process in beer production. Rest assured, Irish Moss does not add any flavors to your beer.

For a 5-gallon batch of beer, the suggested usage is 1 teaspoon of Irish Moss. However, you can add more without worrying about adversely affecting your beer or introducing any off tastes, within reasonable limits.

Incorporating Irish Moss into your beer brewing process is a great natural method to clarify your beer and reduce chill haze. It's a time-proven method that will surely impress with the clarity of your beers. So, add Irish Moss to your shopping list today and take your beer brewing to the next level.
