I have a pale ale in the fermentor and planning to cold crash it after fermentation is over and then add gelatin for the first time, before bottling. I'm curious if this will be a problem with oxidation.
First of all I need to cold crash and I understand that it will cause pressure; so when I add gelatine I need to open the bucket, so would'nt this cause a lot of air to be sucked inside the bucket? And obviously after gelatine has done its job I need to bottle the beer and potentially add more oxygen when transfering the beer to bottling bucket and ultimately to the bottles.
So if there is anyone who uses gelatin and bottles aswell, what is the proper way to handle this situation and have you had any problems using these steps?
Cheers!
