I forgot irish moss when I cooked my porter so I thought I would try Knox gelatin for the first time in the secondary. I read a few threads on it and it sounds simple enough. So I poured 1 packet into about 1 cup of warm water. Right away it started clumping up and was hard to work with, kind of like the bottom of a bag of DME. It dissolved for the most part and I let it sit for 30 minutes. Then I heated it to before boiling and then cooled it back down and poured it into the secondary. Racked a porter on top of it. Now, 1 day later it looks like I have a 1 inch layer of porter jello at the bottom of the secondary. Does this sound normal? Have I done something wrong in the process? How do you eat jello off the bottom of a carboy? Thanks for the help.
