This is one of my first posts.
Been brewing for a while but have a particular question that I really have not found a solid answer to on the forum. In particular; Does adding gelatin during the cold crash period help in compacting and/or keep the loose dry hop partials from moving around as much, especially with movement from the siphon?
I brewed a IIPA that has a significant amount of dry hopping, and I did so in the primary to minimize transfer loss and exposure to oxygen. There is about an inch of trub at the bottom, and on top of the trub is another inch of much darker green hops from the dry hoping, looks like a slice of Spumoni ice cream!
I am planning to fill a 3 gallon keg and bottle the remaining 2 gallons. If I were kegging it all I wouldn't be concerned, but since I am also bottling I am in hopes the hops 'move' less when the siphon gets close to the bottom.... Its my first time using gelatin :/
thanks all
