Irish moss, an edible red seaweed, was also used in the past to clarify wort.
ReplyDeleteVery true. Commercial beer drinkers who don't like the idea of trace amounts of fish parts or seaweed in their beer do not fear! The vast majority of commercially available beers are clarified by some combination of cold-storage, mechanical filtration, or choice of yeast strain. These older methods are more likely to be used on the homebrew scale than the big guys.
Deleteyeah but mate c'mon, Irish moss and Isinglass act quite differently and aren't really fungible - I mean some beers even use both!
