    Gelatin as Fining

    I've never used gelatin as a fining agent before. I have always used super moss or irish moss. My question is would the gelatin cause enough yeast to fall out of suspension to affect bottle carbing? Also how much gelatin should I use for a typical 5 gal batch?

    What else do you use your bottleing bucket for??

    I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner but, on my last batch after my wort had cooled I put a large hop/grain bag in the bucket and poured my wort it. Pulled it out and it strained out my hops and sediment!! Then I just opened up the spigot and drained it into my carboy by way of...
