Thats basically it. It binds the protiens together into bigger chunks to assist in making them fall out of solution quicker. Kind of like grinding up a brick the dust mixed with water will take longer to settle and go the bottom than if you just threw the brick in water.
 
There's limitations on how long you can wait for hot break to drop out of solution besides patience.
 
I forgot to add the brew brite last batch too.. Not really concerned, and it is a American pale.. Just poured a cube into the fermenter and it all looks clear and good to me.

Will try and remember for future brews, but I find when it comes to hop additions and flame out time I'm generally worn out - Its easy to forget.
 
No-chillers really need to get their wort settled down in the kettle as quickly as possible so that the wort is still at the necessary temperature to avoid spoiling in the cube. BrewBrite / BrewBright is a must for me, it flocs the hot break well and also protects against chill haze because the PVPP part of it flocs out the polyphenols that cause chill haze.
 
Yeah I just poured a APA that I forgot the brew brite in - definitely not as pleasing aesthetically - will probably only do that once.
