i brewed a batch of all grain hefeweizen the other day and forgot to add my wirfloc tablts to the boil kettle. its in the fermenter now, can i still add it?
 
You'll be fine. You could always secondary it to clear it up a tad. But i like hefe's and the like a bit hazy. It suits the style. So keep it in primary for a month and bottle!
 
You actually should have purposely left it out. Good job! Hefe's are supposed to be cloudy, otherwise it becomes a Crystal Weisse.
 
kind of similar: i forgot to add my whirfloc until about 2-3 mins left in the boil instead of 15... will this harm anything? or just not have the same clarifying effect?
Im pretty sure 2-3 mins in boiling water is more than time for it to dissolve completely.
