Help with Gelatin in keg to clear beer

[David Woods]

Just starting to keg my beers now and looking with interest at adding gelatin to clear the beer - mostly IPA's and amber ales but will be brewing lagers soon so would like them to be nice and clear.

Any help on this process would be great - I guess it's not too difficult but any advise so as not to bugger up the batch would be good. I would also like to know quantities for a 19L batch and what type of gelatin to use.

Or is there an easier method to clear the beer - my bottled stuff is not too bad with little sediment but I would like them better.

Thanks

The easier method is just to leave it longer in the fermenter before racking. It'll clear naturally, but clear faster with gelatin

Cold crashing is easier than adding gelatin if you have a suitable fridge

But a lot harder if you don't

I get it as cold as I can, around 0°C. Hold it there for 24-48 hours then add ½ teaspoon of gelatine dissolved in 100 ml of hot water and hold there for another 48 hours. Then keg and pressurise.
