I've been doing research on figuring out of I want to strain my wort or leave it with the hops for primary. I came across this "Adding too much Irish moss negatively affects small proteins responsible for head retention. Too much finings may also reduce Free Amino Acid levels that are crucial...
I've been wondering this as I'm getting ready to do a higher gravity Belgian Dubble. only using about 2 oz of various hops, IF they wont' effect flavor I may just keep them in.

I am about to boil a belgian dubble and was wondering the same. I've done it with all my other boils, but this one doesn't have such a large hp addition.
Thanks,
