DONE, Had 2 cubes in the fridge so wacked it in the second as well. Thanks for the help chiller. looking forward to the results.

That's what I thought, and is when I use gelatin, if and when I do, directly at bottling during the bulk prime.

Tony M said:Inspired by this thread, I prepared some gelatin I found in the pantry and threw it into a CC jerry, gave it a week then kegged. Well, I have to tell you I haven't seen anything as muddy as this drop since I last watched the Gascoyne flooding. Its worse than any chill haze I've ever engineered. Oh well!

sluggerdog said:Good to hear thunderlips, I use gelatine for all of my kegs now even if, like ross said above, colditioning them would rip the yeast out anyway however as it doesnot break the bank or add any additional tastes then I think it's worth the extra 5 mintues to ensure you have a clear brew every time.
I mainly brew lagers or pilsners too where the clearness counts

It is my turn to ask a question. I bottle condition all my beers, (can't afford kegs). I wonder if I to use Gelatin, would it take out all the yeast? or would there be enough left to finish carbonation in the bottles. I am thinking of adding it to my secondary to see the diPeter I think it can help your beer even if you bottle. It will just allow you to drop a lot more out before you bottle, there will always be enough yeast to bottle condition. As you are bottling you will always have sedement in the bottles this should still help however. Try it and see, its a cheap experiment.
I guess if you leave your bottles for a long time before drinking most of the yeast should drop out anyway so you may not notice much of a change.fference but I am not game to stuff up 30 bottles.

More Questions.
1 -- How long does carbonation in the bottle take to complete?
2 -- Will ccing before bottling (If it works?) force a longer bottle carbonation time due to a low yeast count?
3 -- Is it worth considering adding gelatin to the bottling bucket after ccing (if it works, of course)?
(Sigh) seems that life is a lot easier when kegging?
