Okay so I have done a pretty good amount of research on this topic and Im convinced to at least try some gelatin in order to cure my chill-haze-riddled homebrew. I have BeirMuncher's technique and im going to trust it (seems to be what everyone does):
"I use a tablespoon per five gallon batch.
Mix it with hot tap water in a sauce pot, about 1 cup of water per tablespoon.
Stir it up and let it sit for 20-30 minutes to hydrate and bloom.
Put the pot on the stove and heat until it looks like its about to start boiling dont boil.
Cool slightly (I put my pot in a cold water bath).
Add it (gently) to the secondary (or keg) as youre racking your beer."
Looks good to me!
However, am I supposed to keep a gelatinized secondary sitting at room temp for a few days before cold crashing? Maybe go straight to cold crashing? And how long to cold crash for effective settling?
I think im good after I know that.
