So I had some friends over the other day and we were enjoying some homebrew on the back deck. We were marveling about how clear the beer was and I started to explain that I used gelatin as a fining to clear out the yeast. Then it dawned on me that my friend is a vegetarian and gelatin is made from animal bones. Kinda awkward.
I think vegetarians assume that beer is "OK" for them and does not contain animal parts. I wonder if any commercial beers using animal parts as finings. Issinglass is made from fish guts and is a pretty popular fining.
What do you think?
