Irish moss is mostly for keeping the trub out of the fermenter, and upping your efficiency by reducing kettle losses. Most of the final haze is yeast - which is taken out by gelatin, or chill haze,which can be improved with mashing technique and refrigeration.
Second. You chuck it in, it fizzes, no stinky seaweed salad.I personally think that the Whirlfloc tablet is easier to use and does the same thing, one tablet does 10 gallons

Yep, without the stink.Whirlfloc is Irish moss, right??
Tongue in cheek, but it does smell a bit like the beach at Galveston, TX at low tide.... Whirlfloc also has carageenan in it, a seaweed derivative. Both work to attract proteins, precipitating them out of the beer. Forgetting them? No great issue.I don't find the Irish moss stinks I just put a teaspoon in ten minutes to go in boil.
I don't make a tea with it though as I've herd some people do.
