I don't see much of a point. The cloudiness is mainly yeast derived so whether you add it or not probably will make no difference.
I don't use anything to clarify hefe's and other wheat beers. Though I'm pretty sure I've never even tried it, so can't say what it would do.
does a whirfloc help with extract brewing? my first homebrew that i made 3 weeks ago smells great and the initial taste was also good when i racked to secondary, only thing missing is appearance.. the color is fine, but it's definitely extremely cloudy i've read about the irish moss/whirfloc stuff and also cold crashing, but have also read that these kind of solutions are as effective when you are doing extract and/or bottling. any tips?
i usually use irish moss in my partial mash recipes and it helps clear it up. cold crashing before you pitch the yeast is a good way to get started on removing the trub right from the start. doing both should get you some pretty beer, unless you're like the o.p. and brewing a hefe, which is supposed to be cloudy.
