Irish Moss, or Carraigeen, (Chondrus crispus) is abundant on the northwestern shores of Ireland, France and Germany. When growing in small pools, it is shallow, pale, and stunted. When found at the bottom of a deep pool, or in the shadow of a great rock, it occurs in dense masses of rich ruddy purple, with reddish green thick fronds. Boiling a small amount of Irish moss in your beer or mead for 15 minutes releases a gelatinous enzyme (mucilage) which will drift in your wort, collecting minute particles of dross, and eventually falling out of solution to the bottom of the fermenter.
