Gelatin Fining with Active Yeast
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 8:43 pm
I gave up on Gelatin after measuring an increase in DO before and after applying it but I do miss it's ability to quickly drop a beer clear.
I was debating about trying the following for a quick turn around lager -
Fermenting per the temperatures on Nico's "Fermenting Lagers in 21 days" outline. Once the beer has reached final gravity and tastes clean I would do a keg to keg transfer. Waiting in the serving keg I would have both a gelatin solution and a small bit of active yeast (maybe just a tsp from the mason jar or a small starter?).
Has anyone ever tried this? I'm not sure if the two would interfere with each other or if the presence of active yeast would scrub out the oxygen introduced during the transfer and gelatin solution.
