I've used the dried ribbons according to instructions, but have now found my own way of using it.
Do
Mix it with water as described on the label and keep in the fridge. AFTER 24 hrs put it in a food blender and mix it until smooth, then put it back in the fridge.
Only add to your beer at it's serving temp (ie, 13 deg c) at the recommended dosage and mix well. Strain your IG mixture through a fine stainless tea sieve into your beer, or some other strainer.
Dont's
Do not try to mix in the blender after initially adding the dried ribbons to water, the ribbons won't disssolve.
Do not add to the beer prior to chilling it for serving, it will minimise the effects of the IG.
Try to add the IG to the beer at the same temp at which it will be served, then leave for at least 48 hours, the beer should clear well.
I've followed the instructions on the dried IG leaflets and have found the results wanting. This is how I've achieved the best results with dried IG myself.
