Irish Moss- 1 oz

This item is priced about 3x what's it's worth. You can find it at a home brew store for under $2. I ended up buying some at a local store and compared it to this item. The local purchase looked fresher, had better color and wasn't broken up as much. Buy this ONLY is you don't have another source.

I used this as a fining agent when brewing beer. It works pretty well, as it binds with proteins floating around in the wort, and will yield a clearer brew when finished.However, I have read about (and actually met a few people with a) sensitivity to Irish Moss (Carrageenan). It is similar to gluten sensitivity. I still use it, but you may want to look into it if it concerns you.

this is the first time i ever used Irish moss in my brews. both in beer and in mead i could tell it clarified faster. smells like crap but works great and couldnt taste in final product.

Works exactly was was expected. Added a small portion to the last 15 minutes of the boil and it helped clarify my wort before bottling.

very earthy taste, but not bad

One teaspoon in the last 15 minutes of your boil is all that it takes to get amazing clear beer. Numerous authors have described how it works, no need to go over that here. It may smell awful, but will no effect on the smell or flavor of your final brew; it is used for aesthetic purposes only, so you can take it or leave it but I like to use it.

A great help to clarify homebrew in the last 15 minutes of the boil.

Nice size
