Question:
I used irish moss for the first time during the last 15 minutes of the boil for my stout that is currently in primary.
I did notice a huge difference, I had a massive amount of stuff "cold break" that I had never experienced before. (I also used a wort chiller for the first time on this brew in case that has an effect).
Anyways my question is should I use irish moss on all my brews? Just some? How about wheat beer? Any opinions on when to use/when not to use?
I did notice this time that even with straining my beer - I had a ton of trub form pretty quickly which I'm not used to. I was worried that all this trub would trap my yeast and hinder fermentation. Didn't seem to happen though.
Thanks!
