I forgot to add Irish moss to my last 5 mins of boil. Just remembered now, after it's in the keg for clearing in the garage! :doh:
Will it this just take longer to clear than usual?
:cheers:
 
Did you add any wheat? That's a bugger to clear and might not clear very much at all...

If it's all english grain, you'll probably be fine regardless, might not even notice a difference! If you struggle, a leaf of gelatine dissolved in hot (not boiling) water will clear it right up.
 
4.5kg of marris otter
0.5kg wheat

Unfortunately it's pressurised and in the keg, just stuck it outside a couple of days ago.
I bottled 4 to keep an eye on it clearing. That's when it clicked :doh:

I've been using Irish Moss (with mixed results) and thought I might try gelatine ..... at what point do you add it Rob?
 
Dissolve a sheet of leaf gelatine and carefully add it to the finished beer. I use this for all of my non-wheat beers and it does the job just fine - just don't tell any vegetarians who are drinking your beer!
