Using Gelatine to clear Lager

Marcus Roper · Aug 10, 2019

Hi There
I've just may have messed up my lager. During the boil phase I forgot the Irish moss. So what is now best, cold crash the lager after fermentation and put the Gelatine in the primary, or add the Gelatine to the keg?
Please advise

The kettle finings often make sod all difference so don't worry about it. If you're doing gelatine then do it post fermentation and either before you keg or in the keg. Some people call gelatine liquid time/liquid lagering.

I was listening to a Brulosophy podcast about short and shoddy Kolsh today that might be great reading for you. http://brulosophy.com/2018/09/20/short-shoddy-kolsch/

In addition, this is a link explaining how brulosophy do their gelatin finings. Have a read, you have nothing to worry about missing the kettle finings.

I usually cold crash and then add gelatine a couple of days before bottling - it leaves the beer crystal clear in my experience
