Accidentally put whole tablet whirlfloc

[ewibolo]

Title says it all is my beer ok?

 

[MrPowers]

You used a whole tab in a 5 gallon batch? Ya it will be fine. A little overkill, but nothing damaging.

 

[Jag75]

I use 1 tablet all the time

 

[bronc72]

I use 1 tablet all the time

Same here!

 

[seatazzz]

me too when I can get it. LHBS has been out of stock for a while so using irish moss when I need it. No such thing as too much.

 

[Yooper]

I don't cut the tablets, so I also use 1 for 5-11 gallon batches.

 

[Jag75]

I tablet users UNITE !!!!

 

[Jim R]

My bottle says to use 1 tablet for 5-10 gal.

 

[ewibolo]

Thanks for the reassurance everyone, the directions said 1 tab for 10-15 gallons. Much appreciated, making a chocolate hazelnut porter for my first brew in 8 years, all grain biab

 

[Andrew7447]

Thats what I do.... When and if I remember =/

 

[Dland]

I use two tablets per10 gallon batch, last 10 minuets of boil, clears the beer nicely.

 

[shetc]

You're golden.

Mine didn't come with instructions, so I just assumed 1 tablet for a 5 gallon batch. Is that wrong?

 

[Transamguy77]

I use 2 for 10 gallons

 

[MrPowers]

I use 2 for 10 gallons

That’s a bit overkill. You only need 1 tablet for 10-15 gallons. It’s not going to hurt anything, just cost more.

Present and correct! Lead us to greatness and glory!

 

[Grog Eisenbein]

Pour it out ... if it turns out terrible. If it does it won’t have anything to do with the tablet, though.

I used to cut them in half but they never cut cleanly, so I just use a whole tablet. You can get a 1 lb bag of tablets on Amazon for about $24 so it’s not worth the effort to try to split them IMO.

 

[Templar985]

I use 1 for a 5 gallon batch all the time also. Never had a problem.

 

[Spartan1979]

A whole tablet here too!

 

[Yesfan]

I use one tablet for 5 gallon batches. At one time, I thought about splitting them, but I like to brew precariously.

 

[skysmyzer]

Anyone of you wild whole tablet brewers notice and improvement or just easier than trying to cut them?

 

[Yesfan]

For me, it's just easier to not cut them.

For others, half or whole tablet tossers, do any of you notice a difference if you chuck them in at 15, 10, 5, or flame out? I toss mine in at the 15 min mark.

 

[Jag75]

This is getting interesting. I've done 10 and 15 min and haven't noticed a difference.

 

[kevin58]

Add me to the 1 tablet club.

 

[MikeCo]

I put mine in at 10 minutes.

 

[GBRbrew]

1 at 15 min because that's when my i.c goes in otherwise I'll forget.

 

[jim_CdY]

Oddly, my container says 1/2 tablet for 5 gallons, I open the bag and cut a tablet in half with a sharp knife. That way anything that breaks off stays in the bag. When I use the last 1/2 I usually have enough crumbs left for one more brew. Seems that whatever we do it works and doesn't impact the beer.

 

[Genghis]

Half tablet per 5 gallon batch. I used to add mine at 15, but switched to 5 after reading on here somewhere that it was more effective as a 5 minute addition.

I haven't noticed that much of a difference either way.
