My last few beers with protofloc did not clear to well. For a beer made yesterday I found an old jar of irish moss at least 10 years old. I added 5 gm for last 15 minutes of boil. When I skimmed the crud off the top tonight, the beer revealed was as clear as crystal, 31 hours after yeast pitch. I know they are the "same" but could one be better than the other ?
 
I didn't think they were the same, some subtle difference. Protofloc more refined perhaps.
I have been Irish moss user for years and just got Whirlfloc so will have to see how it is the other way.
