Mangrove Jack's Chitosan finings

[Ben034]

Just wondered if anyone has tried the Mangrove Jack's Chitosan finings?

I Currently use gelatine finings when I want a light beer to clear quickly. Works well but I read the benefit of these are they work well at ale temps (instead of chilling beer post fermentation and adding gelatine). They are also vegan so may be useful for some. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Never used them, but I'm glad there's a vegan alternative to gelatine. I might get some in case my next lagers aren't as clear as previous brews.

I use Mango Jack's Chitosan finings at about 20-22 oC, and they work well in the FV. After conditioning in bottles, I get a star-bright beer.
Personally not worried about the vegetarian aspect. But living in the tropics, I can't be arsed to cool to the ideal temperatures for gelatine or isinglass finings, or cold crashing.
