My almost "failed" double chocolate stout. After I found out the base malt wasn't milled on this batch I didn't give it much love, to be honest. I pitched yeast and left it for 2 weeks or so, and then bottled. Bottling day was also "delayed". I dissolved my priming sugar, poured it into the fermenter and then found out I wasn't really in the mood to bottle, and we had things to do around the house and whatnot so I just stuck the fermenter back in the fermentation chamber and set the temperature down to 5°C. I then forgot to add more sugar, and when bottling day came I just bottled as is. So it's a bit on the flat side (not completely, but it is definitely undercarbonated), but it's actually a nice beer now.
As a PS, these glasses I ordered definitely isn't 550ml. I poured an entire 660ml bottle of beer in there and there's still space...
Oh, and I also need to learn how to take better beer pics.
Thanks. I BIAB, whirlflock in the boil, no-chill and cold crash.

Have you found a link between clearer wort and clearer end-product beer, or is it just something "on the internet"? I see some people still swear by it, but I've also seen a Brulosophy test where the guy brewed with a clean wort as well as a very cloudy wort and they both produced a clear beer.
I'm asking because I've found that when I do no-chill and I add Irish moss (I have some on hand) to the last 15 minutes of the boil, the wort I end up with in the cube the next day (after it's cooled down) is pretty clear and the sediment at the bottom is a bit more compact then when I don't use Irish moss (so the Irish moss works for that, at least). I don't know if it'll be worth it to try and keep that sediment out of the fermenter though, but would like to know if it could be, if that makes sense?
