Achieve Crystal Clear Beer with Irish Moss

Irish Moss is a natural clarifying agent used by brewers to enhance the clarity and overall quality of their beer. Derived from red seaweed (Chondrus crispus), this powerful fining agent is essential for any brewer aiming to produce a bright, clear beer with a professional finish. We offer Irish Moss in convenient 1-ounce packages, perfect for multiple brewing sessions.

Why Use Irish Moss?

Irish Moss is added during the final stages of the boil to promote the coagulation of proteins and other haze-causing particles in the wort. These particles, if left unchecked, can lead to cloudy beer and off-flavors. By adding Irish Moss, you ensure that these unwanted particles clump together and settle out, resulting in a clearer, more aesthetically pleasing final product.

How Does Irish Moss Work?

During the boiling process, Irish Moss releases carrageenan, a natural polysaccharide that acts as a fining agent. When added to the boiling wort, it causes proteins and polyphenols to bind together, forming larger particles that are easier to remove during the whirlpool or by settling out in the fermenter. This process not only improves the clarity of your beer but can also contribute to a cleaner taste by reducing the presence of these haze-forming compounds.

How to Use Irish Moss

Using Irish Moss is simple and effective. For best results, add 1 teaspoon of Irish Moss per 5 gallons of wort during the last 10-20 minutes of your boil. This allows sufficient time for the carrageenan to dissolve and work its magic, ensuring a clearer beer when you move to the fermentation stage.
