I am brewing this weekend and I forgot to get Whirlfloc.
I do have some Irish moss in my garden that didn't make it through the winter and is dead and dry. Would it be as simple as plucking some, washing it, crushing it up and throwing it in the boil? If so, how much?
Or should I just make the trip to the LHBS and get some whirlfloc?
The brew is my first partial mash (BIAB for the mash) and the crushed grain I ordered has some pretty floury bits (so I am pretty sure fining will be a necessity)
