I forgot to add nutrient to the boil. I am using 2 1056 smack pack's on a 5 gallon IPA.

Should I add the nutrient to the wort or just let is slide?

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
You don't need yeast nutrient for beer, ever really. People do it, but the malt provides all the nutrients you need. Yeast nutrient is for wines and meads, things where there is a lack of nutrients.
 
Yeah, beer usually doesn't need it. One of the rare exceptions is if you are doing a super high gravity brew.
