Irish Moss

You mean wort?

Definitely do NOT put it in a grain bag. Straight into the wort. It has negative charges which attract the positive proteins and drop it the bottom. Can't do that if the moss is in a bag.

Doesn't take much either. I think 1/4 to 1/2 a tsp for 5 gallons.

 

Yes wort, sorry about the spelling error. thanks for the advice.

 

You might also try Whirfloc tablets.  It's basically concentrated and pulverized irish moss in tablet form.  Throw it in your wort 5 minutes before the end of the boil.  I get a bag at a time and it seems to last me close to a year.
