Gelatin Did Not Drop Out, Any Ideas ?

[elec]

Latest kegged batch was AndrewQLD's CSA clone. Cold fined with gelatine in the keg as per accepted method, and then force carbed, but 3 days later the bugger is still muddy as. Lovely flavour, and damned close to the original, but looks like shit.
Every other cold gelatined keg I have attempted has worked a treat, but do I put this down to one of those unexplainable glitches, or am I missing something?

Is it Coopers recultured yeast?

Yes.

Rock the keg gently to resuspend all the yeast, then allow the keg to come up to room temperature. Then chill it again.

(sounds counter-intuitive, but resuspending the yeast will cause it to collide, and form larger flocs.)

Will do, thanks Mr Butters

How much did you use?
Too much can stop it flocking.

Any reason you don't chill and gelatine in the fermenter before going into keg?

1 x teaspoon / 100ml boiled water. Have had no dramas the last half dozen times, BUT, I've never used a measuring spoon either.

As MHB said, too much can stop it flocking...but the amount you used should be fine, even if it wasn't a measured spoon...

Only have temp controled space for 2 fermenters, CD, with each invariably at different stages of progress, so its makes more sense for me to keg first, rather than drop the temp on another batch that may not benefit from it. This method has worked so far...
