I have a 5 gal batch of Centennial Blond sitting in its primary. I was hoping to find it clearer than the last time I brewed her. Both times, I used Irish moss but this time I was thinking of adding some gelatin finings. I have a couple of questions:
I have read and understand the process of preparation and I also understand that it is more effective to add to an already chilled beer. My dilemma is that I have not yet built my fermentation chamber so the lowest I can get it in the basement is about 62*. The other option is to put it in my garage which may have temp swings from 35-50. What should I do?
Also, is there any reason that I could not just add it to the primary? Or is it best to rack on top of the gelatin in a secondary?
