Will gelatin pull hop particles to bottom of keg

[simcoe4life]

I dryhopped 5 gallons of IPA with 3oz of pellet hops in secondary. While transferring to keg I forgot to put a filter on the end of the racking tube. I'm forcecarbing and cold crashing as I type, and, I had to pull a sample just because I'm way too eager to drink this IPA. I have discovered that there's a ridiculous amount of hop particles making their way into my glass. Meh.

Should I stop the force carbonation process, add gelatin to the cold, half-carbonated keg, keep it in the kegerator, wait 3 to 5 days...and pull a sample in hopes that the gelatin drops all hop particles to the bottom that I can pull out in 1 or 2 pints? Or can I trust that the hop particles will drop to the bottom of the keg on their own, due to the cold crash. Thanks.

Anyone?

I tried using gelatin to pull the hop matter out of a recent batch and I just ended up with a super clear beer with hop chunks still floating. A week later they had settled out, but any slight bump of the keg stirred themup again...

I see. And even after they settled out is it safe to assume you still had the random particle floating?

I might just have to transfer to another keg and filter it this time.

I had the same experience as sv. I use gelatin occasionally and while it makes a clear, polished beer, it cannot pull larger particles out of suspension.
