    I always throw a pinch in at 15 min remaining.

    Around a tablespoon at 10 minutes. Probably overkill.

    'bout a tsp at 15 min, hydrated.
    Just switched to whirfloc tabs, I'll let you know if I see any difference once the beer is ready

    always use 1 tsp at 12 minutes till end of boil. i read that is the perfect time, i also read more than 15 mins is a waste of time. this sounds like a perfect topic for urban miths. i have seen many people claim irish moss is for the brewer not the beer
