Irish Moss

Irish Moss is added during the final 15 minutes of the boil to aid in settling out the coagulated proteins that cause cloudy beer.
Lactose

Lactose is unfermentable by beer yeast, so it adds sweetness,
body, and calories to the finished beer.
Malto-Dextrin

Maltodextrin is used to increase the specific gravity of the final beer product. This improves the mouthfeel and smoothness of beer. Maltodextrin is not fermented by the yeast and has no flavor.
