Irish moss is a beer clarifier used in the boil to combat haze, use 1 teaspoon for 5 gallons of wort.

Irish moss should be re-hydrated at least 15 minutes before adding it to your boil. Make this part of your set up routine. Add the re-hydrated Irish moss the last 15 minutes of your boil.

Assumes 75% brewhouse efficiency. Mash at 155° F (68° C) for 60 minutes. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops as specified. Ferment for one week, rack to secondary, and condition for an additional two weeks.
