I searched for this and didn't find anything, but forgive me if its already been covered. I used gelatin for the first time today on my apricot IPA. I figured in addition to pectin enzyme, it may help clear the haze from the oregon fruit. Anyway, I bloomed in a cup of cold water for 10 min, brought it to 170 degrees and poured it into my chilled (40 deg.) carboy through a funnel. The entire time I was thinking, "I feel like this is oxidizing my beer because it's violently dropping into the carboy about 4 inches. Any truth to this or should I just RDWHAHB?

RDWHAHB. 170° water doesn't hold much oxygen, but it wouldn't matter if it was cold. Just nothing to worry about.
Kudos on trying an apricot IPA. Sounds very interesting.

Thanks for the words of advice! I was going to DFH Aprihop, but with less hop and more Apricot! I wanted some hop aroma so I also dryhopped w. .5 oz cascade. I plan to keg 1/2 and bottle the rest. Well see how it turns out in about a week or so!
