Hi,
I've got a lager made to the following:
plan is to put it into my beer fridge once i get a stable SG, then rack to a different barrel for bulk priming and the bottling.
I'm planning on having this beer ready for mid October - Oktoberfest!
My questions:
I had a read through all 11 pages of the gelatine how to page. its hard with so many conflicting opinions...
Cheers,
I've got a lager made to the following:
- 1.7kg can of Mangrove Jack Munich Lager
- 1.5kg light dry malt
- 200g of carahell steeped for around half an hour at 60 degrees
- 10 grams of hallertauer mittelfruh boiled for 10 min
- 10 grams of hallertauer mittelfruh boiled for 5 min
- 10 grams of hallertauer mittelfruh dry hopped (loose pellets) added tonight (day 5)
- made with re hydrated s23.

My questions:
- Its been brewing at ambient temperature 18 degrees, so i'm guessing there is no need for a d rest?
- I'm keen to try and get as much sediment out as possible. should i try to add some gelatine? I dont really want gelatine in the bottles, so if I do go down this path, should i add the gelatine mix (1 tsp gelatine to 100ml of water) after ive got the brew down to 1-2 degrees? Bare in mind that I'll be racking this beer later into the bulk priming vessel prior to bottling.
- will adding gelatine significantly increase the time required to prime the bottles due to the lower number of yeast cells in the bottle?
