Hi,
I'm currently planning do brew a simple SMASH Czech Pilsner Lager.
The recipe:
12L spring water
2.5kg Pilsner Malt
50g Saaz Hops
11.5g Fermentis Saflager S-23
3g yeast nutrient consisting of DAP, and some other stuff
This will be fermenting at around 12-13C in my fermentation chamber.
Then after primary i will be cold crashing it to around 5C. (1-2 days)
After that bottling and carbonating (2 weeks), then laggering (6 weeks)
I want this beer to be as clear as possible, and for that i chose Gelatin.
My question is, is there a big difference in adding gelatin in primary fermantation vs after primary fermentation?
For me adding it to primary is just much simpler, and i want to stick with that method, but im afraid it wont clear as much as it should.
