Gelatin supended in beer...

[confusion98]

Hi all,

I'm just getting back into brewing and I have a gelatin question. I recently brewed an IPA (partial grain), left it in the primary for about 14 days, racked to the secondary and dry hopped for an additional 14 days and then bottled. About 3 days before bottling I added gelatin to help clarify. Now I've done this before with great success, however, this time I seem to have tiny pellets (for lack of a better term) of what I'm guessing is gelatin suspended in the bottles. I thought they would settle over time, but so far they're still there. Anyone experienced this before and, more importantly, any suggestions for avoiding this in the future (other than not using gelatin). BTW the beer smells and tastes great with good carbonation and head retention.

Thanks - Jeff

Trying that now. I put a couple of the worst bottles in the fridge last night. I'll try them tonight to see if they're any better. Will post the results.

Did you dissolve the gelatin in water before you added it?
