from my experience, yes, it will strip some of aroma if you use too much gelatine after dry hopping. Recently I started using gelatin first and then dryhop in keg for best results. You can do same in bucket/carboy
m3n00b said:Hate to bump an old thread but I don't want to start a new one on the same thing. I recently beefed up an snpa clone to a session IPA using Chinook and. Centennial dry hops. Bottled yesterday. Had a few samples and I couldn't really detect any hop aroma. I did cold crash and add gelatin just before bottling. My best IPA ever didn't use gelatin and had insane aroma. I'm wondering if it will get better once it carbs or if the gelatin really stripped all the smell? I have really hard water and get crazy chill haze but with gel I get clear beer.
I use whirlfloc too but that doesn't do anything for chill haze.
My try at using gelatin wasn't so good. I lost lots of hop flavor and wasn't all too impressed with the clarity. I'd rather my beers tastes great even if they aren't perfectly clear.
I likely won't be using gelatin again.
