I started my first batch of home brew last night. The brew went well, I guess, except that I had a bit of trouble getting the temperature of the wort down below 78 degrees to pitch the yeast. I tossed in some extra cool water (about a quarter gallon and some ice cubes, so the wort was standing for about 20 - 30 minutes cooling (with a sanitized lid over it).
I forgot to toss in my irish moss at the end of the boil though. The batch is very happily bubbling away in the fermenter now. Should I just not worry about the finings and keep it for the next batch? What effect will this have (if any)?
Thanks.... Prost!
