I have been using gelatin as a fining agent now for my last 3 beers. My beers clear up but I always seem to have floaters now. It's like the chill haze turns to pieces of dirty food in the glass. The chill haze almost looks better. Not just the first pint either. My procedure is to add 1tsb of gelatin to 250ml of water then microwave in short burst till it hits 150 then pour into keg with cold crashed beer and start crabing immediately. Should I waiting 48 hours prior to force carbing? My typical carb is to pressure to 30psi for 24 hours then drop to serving pressure of 8psi. I don't use a carb stone or shake it.
When to carb with gelatin

I do a similar procedure except I use 1/2 tsp to 60ml to a cold keg after purging I give it a gentle swirl. After 3 days 1st pint or two is cloudy then clear Nothing floating.
No it maybe sits 3 minutes before i pitch it into the keg. I have also not been swirling so that could be it as well. Will try both suggestions next keg.
