I've read many discussions on fining agents and fining methods, but I haven't quite found an answer to my question.
Will my beer need fining to clear?
I had a very vigorous boil (had to add a half gallon of water because I boiled down a lot) and my burner starts the boil pretty quickly.
I cooled down to 100F from full boil in 7 minutes, down to 70F in 14 minutes (first attempt at building/using an IC)
I did NOT use irish moss because I'm dumb.
The beer will be in primary for three weeks (1.052 OG) with reasonably stable temp around 70 and US05 yeast.
I just don't like the idea of adding gelatin or isinglass, but I have no real reason why... I have read that I need to cold crash after adding either of those, but I don't have that ability - am I wrong?
