2/13/2013 -- Could you tell me how long I can keep whirlfloc tablets?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: A VERY long time (years?), and long as they don't get wet.

Our toll free order is (800) 850-2739
12/1/2009 -- Is there a down side to using Irish Moss? I know haze isn
t necessarily a problem, just an appearance thing. Just curious if using IM can create any problems with fermentation. I predominantly make ales as I am not set up yet for largers.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: I've never heard of IM being a problem. It simply causes certain proteins to attach themselve to it, and fall to the bottom. This results in a clearer beer.
4/16/2008 -- If I'm doing a belgian wit beer and looking for a suspended yeast would I still use a clarifier tablet?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Probably not, altho the type of yeast used will be a bigger factor in whether/not it remains suspended.
The clarifier tablet causes more than just yeast to drop to the bottom. It also causes proteins and other compounds that cause sediment.
My advice: Use a good quality Wyeast liquid yeast culture for an authentic wit. One with low flocculation will cause more yeast to be suspended in the final brew.
1/26/2008 -- I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

Heck, you can actually call us on the phone, too! It's 425-355-8865. A person will actually answer as long as it's business hours!
4/24/2007 -- when brewing dark beers (porters/stouts) how necessary is it to have a clear beer? by omitting your tablets or irish moss is my beer going to taste any worse? Is this done for appearence only?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Not really necessary at all. There will be no difference in taste, just in appearance.
11/5/2006 -- I live in Seattle, can I come and pick up the bottles in Everett? Do you have a "brick and mortar" store?

Take a look around!
1/2/2006 -- If you miss adding Irish Moss to the boil, is there a product that can be added during or after fermentation that would produce similar results to the end-of-boil addition of Irish Moss?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, actually, a few. Each are a little different in how they are used, and effectiveness. A few are:
1) Super-Kleer (2-part wine fining)
2) Isinglass
3) Polyclar
4) gelatin
Even without using irish moss, your beer won't necessarily be cloudy. IM reduces haze, is all.
3/4/2005 -- do you use one tablet per 5 gallon batch or the whole pack?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: One tablet per 5 gallon batch.
10/21/2003 -- How does one use this product? Is there a prescribed technique?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Just like irish moss. Throw it in 15 minutes before the end of the boil.
