As an experiment, I ground up some irish moss flakes in a hand operated pepper mill. I estimate the average flake size was then ten times smaller, increasing the surface area considerably. I added a level teaspoon to my latest 6 gallon brew, an all grain dark bitter, 20 minutes from end of boil.
I bottled the beer yesterday just 4 days after pitching the yeast. I have never seen beer so clear at this stage. It smelt wonderful. I will give taste feedback in 3 weeks time.
(do not post about bottle bombs please - regular readers will know I have been bottling after 4 to 7 days for many years now with no disasters.)
