So...I was brewing with a friend of mine today, and I when it was time to put the whirlfloc in the boil I asked him to take care of it. He has not ever brewed before. He dumped the entire pack of whirlfloc tablets in the boil with about 15 minutes left. My fault for not telling him one tablet, but what is this going to do? Will this be drinkable? I'm hoping that all of
It will settle, then maybe transfer it to a secondary fermenter after 3-4 days.

Any advice? Dump it?

Thanks,

Ryan
 
Mmmm....seaweedy.

I bet it will taste fine, but only time will tell. They did this once on an episode of the Jamil show; they described a slight off flavor, but it might not be something that you or I would notice.
 
You'll probably have a few inches of jelly at the bottom of the fermenter, siphon off and you should be fine.
