I've used this technique on my previous 2 brews and it seems to work quite well.
My premise is:
I've heard that gelatin works better if you use on chilled brews
Adding sugar to individual bottles is a pain
Therefore:
I now crash for 24 hours
Add sugar and gelatin to bottling bucket
Continue crashing for a further 48 hours
Bottle
I'm assuming that the yeast is too sleepy at cooler temps (I use a high temp yeast - Kveik} to do much so the beer carries on clearing . After being bottled I can warm the beer to fermentation temp and that takes out excess oxygen that I added when transferring to bottling bucket.
Does anyone else use a similar process and does anyone see a problem with this method.
All things being equal I'm quite a lazy brewer, preferring to spend that time imbibing the finished nectar! Cheers.
