I'm a relative newcomer to brewing beer, making a total of 18 batches since September of 2006. This past weekend, I brewed a batch of English Nut Brown Ale which, by the way, was a repeat of a batch I made this past spring.
In any event, I forgot to add a tsp. of Irish Moss during the last 15 minutes of the boil, and am curious as to what effect that will have on my finished product. The first time I made this recipe, the beer had a very nice head and was crystal clear. Is that NOT going to be the case this time? This was the first time I forgot to add it so I'm curious what effect it will have.
Here is my recipe / procedure cut and pasted from BeerSmith:
