I've just put my Ruination clone into the carboy, and as I was doing it I realized I forgot to add the Whirlfloc. I've been using it since I started doing BIAB as this leaves a lot more trub than extract or sparged grain.
My plan had been to make the brew, make my yeast starter (didn't think I'd have time to brew today so I didn't make it in advance), and hold the wort in my smaller carboy (very little headspace), and then rack it to my larger carboy and add yeast, in the process leaving all the trub behind.
So what I did was boil up half a tab of whirlfloc and added it to the cooled wort. It fizzed when I added it. I'll see how it looks tomorrow and report back. Since I don't have a control I won't be able to compare with and without. I know a lot of people don't like the stuff as it leaves a lot of fluffy trub, but if you let it settle it does a great job of clarifying.
