I've seen a lot of references to using gelatin or irish moss to clear up a beer. However, almost all the references suggest that you HAVE TO crash cool your beer first for the gelatin to have any effect.
I'm coming up to bottling day for one of my IPAs, and wanted to try clear it up a bit --- BUT, I dont have a cooler/fridge where I can crash cool my carboy.
Would there be ANY VALUE AT ALL to using gelatin when I cant cool my carboy down, or would it just be a waste of a box of gelatin?
I'm not worried so much about cool haze, but more just want to try get as much particulate matter out of the beer.
