Can gelatin be added using a yeast brink instead of from top of conical?

[Tom R]

I have 6 gals of APA in my 15 gal conical @ 30F, all ready for gelatin. In the past I have applied a couple PSI of CO2 while I remove a 3" TC fitting and pour it in. I was trying to minimize O2 exposure.

I have a yeast brink which I could use to inject it from the bottom, but I don't know if it would be equally effective that way.
Does it need to be poured on top if the beer so it can diffuse down through the conical? Or can I just dump the cone and bubble it up out of the brink w/ CO2?

It wouldn't. The whole idea is that the gelatin pulls the yeast along with it on its way down.

OK then, I'll continue pouring it in from the top.
Thanks for your help!
