No, use the gelatin before racking. Beer jello is not a treat.

Here is something from this BYO article:
Although I have added it to an already cold keg and got no jello...just clearer beer. But I didn't use much.

I've been using gelatin lately with great success. I have the beer at about 35F when I add the gelatin and within 3-4 days the beer is crystal clear.

So on the other side of the gelatin coin, here's a shot of my willamette pale ale that I enjoyed this evening, which has no finings in it other than a 1/2 tab of whirlfloc in the boil.



This is after about a month, maybe three weeks, in the fridge cold conditioning. Although it may look a *little* hazy in the picture, that's either my poor iPhone photography skills, or condensation on the glass. It was absolutely crystal clear.

Ever since I stopped recirculating during the mash (my RIMS heater died) I've had problems with chill haze. I'm working on fixing that, but for now the gelatin works well.

I'm of the belief that if your process is good, you don't need any type of filtering or fining. Just a cold place to store the beer and a few weeks.
