Forgot My Moss

[durandf]

Hi All,
I have just finished brewing a Barley Wine, with an G 1.10 and already have a pretty active primary fermentation going. I realized though I forgot to add the irish Moss. Since, I plan on a secondary and conditioning in bottles for 6 months and plan on drinking this until Christmas , do I need to add this stuff and if so, when and how.

Thanks for the help.

Don't bother. You could use gelatin in the secondary if you are so inclined, but it'll clear eventually. A few weeks at serving temp should make it sparkle.
I forget whirlfloc about half the time. Time fixes that more often than not.

I don't bother with it at all and get crystal clear beer.

Thank you ... I will let time clear it up

There are many other chemicals you can use, they are cheap and wroth the money to me.

agreed, let it do its thing, and remember it next time. There are things you can do after but don't bother, let it go.
