Finings/Gelatine To Clear a Brew

Postby Gigantorus » Monday Feb 16, 2015 8:38 am

I seek your advices thanks.

I'm using gelatine for the first time to clear up a brew. I'm doing this as I'm somewhat curious to see how much it might clean the beer up and therefore whether I'll do more of this into the future.

My question is.......If I am dry-hopping for the last 5 days and add finings/gelatine on say the 3rd last day - will it affect the dry-hopping in any way? Will it cease the imparting of flavour/aroma - the dry-hopping process - in any way? I want to know what the impact might be on dry-hopping.

Your advice thanks?

Cheers,

Pete

add the gelatine 24 to 36 hours before you package.
they will drop your hops out.
