I have read a few things online about using Gelatin to clear your beer...but as usual there are differing theories..so i come to you...when do you use Gelatin and does it inhibit alcohol/head etc...
Does this kind work?
Add the dissolved gelatin to room temperature beer, then chill it for a few days. Adding it to pre-chilled beer will make jello blobs.
Never had that problem and I always chill my kegged beer for a few days and then add gelatin. I have read that it doesn't work unless the "chill haze" is present, which it wouldn't be if the beer is warm. YMMV
I'd like to point out that if you add gelatin to your beer, you should disclose it to any vegan/vegetarian friends that you share it with! I know that pretty much none of it will make it into the glass, but some people don't like it on principle (for the same reason that most vegans won't touch Guinness due to the isinglass).
With all do respect if I'm giving something I made away (homebrew, bread, pastries or what not) if someone has an allergy, adverse reaction to, a difference in principle or religious belief with a particular "thing" it is their responsibility to imo to ask the question(s) before they consume any (homemade)product they did not make. I have many friends that I share my homemade thing with and they have friends that they may share with, I cant keep track of all of their needs. Just my $.02

How do you add it to the chilled beer? Mix with some water first?
Also if you add to keg, do you get a clogged dip tube or anything?
