So I went ahead with the gelatin in the following steps:
1) Heat 2 cup measuring cup up with filtered water up to 170 degrees
2) Add packet of knox supermarket gelatin to water
3) Important: STIR UNTIL COMPLETELY DISSOLVED
4) Allow water to cool to 120 degrees
5) Pour into secondary. I poured down the sides to try and evenly distribute the gelatin solution into the carboy. I then stirred the solution gently into the beer.
6) Put the carboy out in the garage to crash cool
Here are the results; one is my amber ale that I used gelatin in, the other is my belgian ale that I brewed the same day, but did not put gelatin in. Note that the belgian ale IS a bit darker but not by a whole lot and even with the SRM difference its obvious which one the gelatin was used it. Note the agave wheat bottle that I placed behind each to show the clarity. I apologize for the water spots on the glasses, we are out of jet dry
