Technically, you never *have* to cold crash at all. If you want clear beer, you can, but it is not essential.
My experience with gelatin is limited. As I understand it, though, if you use enough and you do it properly, that's all the clearing most beers are ever going to need.
I'm not sure, though, so you should seek further opinions.

I'm a freak about clear beer! I've even gone so far to invest in filtering equipment. But what works the best for me is a tablet of whirlfloc, siphoning out of the kettle leaving 95% of the hop material at the bottom, and cold conditioning for 1-2 weeks. Whammo....clear beer!

Can you use the whirfloc for canned extracts(coopers-Muntons) or would it be hurtful to the beer?When would you add it? I don't boil my canned malt, just mix it with boiling water in primary.
