I ordered some isinglass to use this weekend. It came in a pouch and is kinda jelly like. Do i just dump it in or do i have to mix it with water?
I use it at the very end of my wines, about a month before I want to bottle. You want to use about 2 ounces per 5 gallons. Isinglass is a positively charged fining agent- it will work to remove negatively charged particles like tannin, phenolics, anthocyanins, yeast, and bacteria. I've never used it in beer (is that what you're using it for?) but it should work just fine. You should have directions on your package.
What does it matter... It was already in the database.. would you rather someone start a new thread about the same thing, just to slow the site down some more. ? Any input is good input, no matter if it's a year or 10 years from now, We are here to be helped and to help... Not worry about when a post was.. To the guys above.. thanks for your input, It answered my questions..This happens far too often. I don't get it, do people not notice the date or think they can actually contribute to a thread that ended 3.25 years ago?
That's exactly why I was offended, and said something about it.. That same person is probably the same one that post on new threads, saying search the forums, that this has probably been discussed before.. Anyhow back to the subject.. haha .. Has anyone noticed any ill effects from isinglass or gelatin ? i.e. off-flavors, lack of carbonation, loss of head retention ? also Whats the recommend way to introduce isinglass to your brew?That's the whole point of a forum, no? The real problem are people that hijack threads. i.e. posting about the date of the disscussion vs. posting about the actual topic.
As a professional brewer with 13 years experience using Isinglas, I posted in this thread bc I felt that I could contribute to the subject for later searchers.
The person complaining about the post being old is probably one of the first people to complain about someone not using the search function.

I actually just used Gelatin, on a light beer I just brewed.. Here's a video of my homebrew wed. and I pour one at the end.. Clear as ever..
