Irish moss

[tubby_shaw]

It's generally 1 tsp or 5g per 5 gallons or 25 litres

I'm a chuck it in type.

Besides, you ARE rehydrating it.....for 15 minutes in boiling wort, then by steeping in cooling wort

out of interest and not meaning to hijack the thread but did you find the whirlfloc worked? i used it last brew and i got an awful haze usualy i use moss (rehydrated). i did just chuck it in dried the last time i used it and it didnt seem to make a difference

Colin - I switched to Whirlfloc a while ago and was sceptical at first, but got good results and now use it in preference to Irish moss .... which I've never rehydrated

To be honest, I do something a little bit different each time when I'm brewing so I can't be sure. My initial reaction is yes, however I use it in conjunction with other finings.

I just bung it in and very rarely have any problems with clarity. The only significant problem I remember was when I ran out of irish moss and brewed without, that brew never did clear.
