Can anyone tell me exactly how gelatin clarifies beer and what the proper procedure is for using it?
so can I rack my beer with fruit at the same time I rack with gelatin for two weeks and then bottle carb for three weeks?
I wouldn't add fruit and gelatin at the same time as the fruit will restart fermentation
I've only used gelatin once, and in my opinion, with a good cold/hot break paired with some Irish moss, you don't really need the stuff. Although it adds no flavor, I prefer to make my beers with the most minimal ingredients.
so add gelatin to triterciary fermentation?
sorry about third fermentation spelling slaughter.
It really depends on the style of beer and the yeast strain you are using. Some combinations will benefit little, others a lot. For instance my bitters with Wyeast 1968 (a flocculating demon) don't get gelatin. My Belgian blonde with Wyeast 1388 (low flocculation) will be getting gelatin.
