Help quick....

[DocksideBrew]

Starting 5 gallon extract batch. Recipe is an American Amber Bock. Question is do I or should I add irish moss to boil? I am leaving brew in Primary for 3-4 weeks, no secondary, then keg.

Sure
why not?

Sure
why not?

Because I'm out and would have to run to LHBS 30 miles away..

oh, well don't worry about it then
I forget the Irish Moss about half the time.
You can always use gelatine or isenglass after it ferments
if you think it needs it

using irish moss for the first time next brew lol

From what I read (I'm no expert) Irish moss is not a necessity. Also, it doesn't seem worth driving 30 miles for (60 if you include the trip back).

I've never used it in years of brewing. I might start playing with it but its importance isn't critical. Just brew!

Whirfloc is so much easier!
