Irish Moss and Gelatin pack

[Oscbert]

I bought a pack for $1 from homebrew shop. It had about 3 teaspoons of irish moss and 3 teaspoons of gelatin in it.
I never used either.
John Palmers's book says to toss in the Irish Moss at last 15 minutes of boil. It didnt mentioned anything about the gelatin.
I tossed both of them in at the same time. Problems with this?
My beer is currently fermenting and I can see white gelatin chunks getting tossed around in the fermenter.
I read now that gelatin is added later and not boiled....

You probably will not have a problem but the gelatin should of been added 3 days before you plan on bottling/kegging, and not boiled.

The gelatin will pull all the yeast and proteins to the bottom of your fermenter but since you boiled it the proteins in the gelatin will have denatured and will not work as thought.

Just let it ferment out, and if you can chill the wort before bottling it will allow the jello to drop out of suspension and they should not be present in the beer.

That's good to hear. Thanks!
Thanks for the gelatin link too.

This should help:

Don't boil it with the gelatin. But boil your water by itself to sanitize, then add the gelatin when it is lukewarm - ~115oF. Add it to your secondary, then rack the beer on top of it. It'll float down to the bottom, taking proteins with it, in a couple of days. Works for ales or lagers.

Thank you. Unfortunetly I boiled the gelatin. I am bottling this weekend. I may get more gelatin because there are currently some gelatin chuncks floating at the top. The new gelatin will hopefully help pull those down..
