Gelatin Fining - 56g

Gelatin fining is a popular method used by homebrewers and commercial brewers alike to clarify beer.  The gelatin will clump the particles which are in suspension in the beer which will help clarify the beer.

Prepare the Gelatin Solution: Gelatin is usually dissolved in warm water before being added to the beer. This helps it mix evenly and prevents clumping. The amount of gelatin used depends on the volume of beer being clarified. For 19 litres, dissolve 1/2 teaspoon to 1/4 cup of warm water.

Add Gelatin to Beer: Once the gelatin solution is prepared, it is gently stirred into the beer. It's essential to do this slowly and carefully to avoid introducing excess oxygen, which can lead to off-flavours.

Cold Crash: After adding the gelatin, the beer is typically cold crashed. Cold crashing involves lowering the temperature of the beer to near-freezing temperatures, usually around 0 - 4°C. This helps the gelatin and other particles in the beer to settle to the bottom more quickly.

Rack or Bottle: Once the beer has been cold crashed for a sufficient amount of time (usually a few days to a week), it can be either racked into another vessel, leaving behind the sediment at the bottom.  If bottling, it is recommended to add a bottle conditioning yeast prior.
