Whirfloc versus conentional irish moss

[Asphaltboy]

I'm new to using whirlfloc - only 1 brew so far, so no sufficient experience to comment.

So, is it worth changing my system, of which i have been happy with, for the new stuff?

I boil for a minimum of 90 mins with a burco boiler on full wack throughout,
adding a scientific "cap full" for the last 30 mins.

Any thoughts?

Whirlfloc should be used in the last 10 minutes of the boil

I had good results from Irish Moss but Whirlfloc (and its big Brother protafloc) are by far superior . . . . The oly problem using protafloc is measuring the qty needed for HB sized Batches, even at .75HL is fiddly

I would put the moss in at 15 mins or a whirlfloc at 10 mins. They are more convenient really and they fizz around the boiler which is fun. Can't comment on which is better used both satisfied with beer. But I have not spilt any tablets and I know how many brews 'till I reorder.

i tried whirlfloc once but had dissapointing results , others swear by it though so maybe it was something else i did . i tend to stick to irish moss now, mond you once i forgot to put it in and the beer was still fine .

I've only done 3 AG brews, the first two with Irish Moss and decided to give Whirfloc a go on my latest - Fiddler's Elbow.

Initial thoughts when running off the wort from the boiler was that Irish Moss had done a better job on the first two. I'll be racking the FE into the secondary fermenter tomorrow and will be interested to see how it's shaping up.
