Anyone know what type of clarifier I can use for brewing 1 gallon, EXTRACT batches? I read you’re not supposed to use Irish moss with extract. I’ve used Super-Kleer KC on my 5 gal batches but I need something for small ones. Thanks for reading!
John Palmer’s ‘How to Brew’ doesn’t recommend Irish moss/Whirlfloc on extract worts. I must’ve misinterpreted.
Thanks to everyone for the answers.
Uh, no idea.my best guess would be that extract comes pre clarified?
Appendix C of HtB (3e & 4e) offers an explanation as to why Irish Moss is not recommeded for extract based recipes.When I did extract brews I used Irish moss. Why not use Irish moss?
Agreed - identify the type of haziness, apply the technique that removes that type of haziness.... lack of clarity is coming from ...
There are reasons people do 1 gallon batches. Some people live in apartments where they don’t have space for all kinds of brewing equipment. Some guys just starting out do it. Some guys do experimental batches in a smaller size. There are several large threads on here full of people brewing small batches.if you're brewing 1 gallon batches you probably don't drink too much, time works great.....
Yes, the combination of time/gravity works for some types of haze.time works great.....
Yea.Appendix C of HtB (3e & 4e) offers an explanation as to why Irish Moss is not recommeded for extract based recipes.
Exactly! Just experimenting here…There are reasons people do 1 gallon batches. Some people live in apartments where they don’t have space for all kinds of brewing equipment.

I’m north of 60 now. I imagine one day I’m not going to be able to lift 5 gallon buckets and heavy brew pots full of liquid. I will probably go to smaller batches to keep brewing. Hopefully that won’t happen to me for a while yet. But eventually, time gets all of us.
So what you read is a reasonable starting point.Yea.
But let face it, just seeing the cloudy beer is a buzz kill.
