Finings: Necessary?

[Lorenzo99]

Hi There i am also new to the home brew scene. I just started my first brew on the 23rd jan i used brewmakers draught with a 1kg brew booster.(600g dextrose, 200g light malt, and 200g corn syrup) supposed to be a carlton draught copy i used the yeast that came with the kit. so are fining's are best used in cold wort? or at fermenting temps?

p.s Sorry to crash the thread not sure if it is ok or i am supposed to start a new thread? I am new to computers as well haha

Chill fermented beer to min 5degc first. A lot of yeast will then drop out by itself. Finings will help a lot more drop out. Leave a few days and bottle.
