If you look in the wine making section of most HBS, they should have kieselsol, which is negatively charged silica gel. It is usually used in conjunction with chitosan, a positively charged polymer made from crustacean shells (and thus not veggie) or gelatin (ditto), for fining wine. Irish moss and whirfloc are negatively charged also, and should bind to positively charged proteins and cause them to drop.
I have used kieselsol in wine making (asi stated above, along with chitosan) but never tried it in ale. Please let us know if it works for you.
