Hey all. I brewed a pumpkin ale, last week, and I think the brew turned out pretty well. Started at 1.048 and finished at 1.018. It didn't finish a low as I would have liked, but hey, it's beer.
Since I've just moved to my new place, I was unable to grab my irish moss prior to brewing. So I decided to try gelatin. I've read plenty of good results stemming from its use. I'll be kegging, so it's a pretty easy process for me.
Here are the 2 questions: does mixing warm water with the gelatin result in a better product? And secondly, should the beer be warm or cold when I toss the the gelatin/water mixture into it? Thanks.
