Just a quick question: When I add gelatin to clarify my brew, should I dissolve it in water first or just dump it in?
Add the gelatin (1 pkg Knox / 1 tsp) to room temperature water (1 to 2 cups) and allow it to soak for about an hour. Then heat the mixture until you begin to just see wisps of steam coming off the top (about 170F) and stir to ensure it is dissolved. Cool and add it to the secondary a few days before bottling.
I agree.Bjorn Borg said:why use one at all?
