gelatin for kegging

It does raise an interesting point though. I know most commercial breweries, as far as I'm aware, use filtering for clarification vs. fining. What about wineries? Do they filter, or are they (potentially) using animal products to fine - gelatin, isinglass, chitosan? Do vegans and vegetarians have a problem with this, if they are even aware?

Lots of commercial breweries cold crash with gelatin instead of filtration. So yeah, sort of interesting point I guess. I'm sure they just say "well none of it ends up in packaging" but I doubt that literally zero gelatin particles get in. Not that I care. I'm sure no government agency is going to test to see if there's really any in there either.

I don't know... that's exactly one of those things I would expect a Government agency to involve themselves with. They love wasting our money doing studies on the strangest things. [emoji6]
