1st Time Using Gelatin - My Results

Can I add this to a finished beer? Apparently so-my ale is cloudy-I forgot to use Irish moss and it hasn't settled out yet. I haven't completely carbed it either. Going to give it a gello shot tomorrow!

I racked 2 batches of brew into secondarys with gelatin after a month in primarys on friday(2/11/11) around noon and the secondarys have been crash cooling in my fridge since. my question is i have some time today(2/13/11) to rack to kegs should i let it crash cool longer or will the gelatin be done doing what it needs to so i can rack today? i can always rack next weekend but im getting antsy. also i am a gelatin newb

Well hoofing it worked out well and the beer looks great! I can't taste anything that shouldn't be there and my hair and nails look good too!

I seem to do mine different than everyone else but it works great.

I generally don't use secondaries. I just crash cool my primary for a day or two, add gelatin then rack to keg after a day or two. Clear no floaties works great.

First time I used it I added it to the keg and racked on top but got floaties so switched my process and have never looked back.

Polyclar is the vegan alternative. As long as you don't count the poor old dinosauers that died to make the oil to make the plastic.

I'm planning on using gelatin to clear an ESB thats in the primary now.

Any thoughts on boiling the water and then cooling it purely to remove oxygen?

It doesn't seem like anyone here has had a problem with oxidation, just curious.
