In either case, you want the beer to be cold, ICE cold. The colder the beer is, the more haze-forming particulate will form. The more haze-forming particulate that forms, the more particulate the gelatin can fine out. You may have some success at cellar temps (10-12C), but for best results the beer should be at serving temp (0-4C).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInstructions:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Get a microwave-safe glass cup for example a pyrex measuring cup. Measure out 2\/3 cup cold water, if you wouldn't drink the water from the tap filter it or use bottled water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Add one teaspoon of gelatin, and stir the solution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Place the water\/gelatin mixture in the microwave, and begin to heat it 15-30 seconds at a time, stopping to stir the solution and check the temperature. As it heats up, you'll notice the gelatin will begin to dissolve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Continue heating\/stirring until the mixture reaches somewhere between 65 - 75C remove from the microwave. Don't allow to go above 75C or you'll be making jelly. We're just trying to pasteurize the solution.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Give the mixture one last stir, and dump it straight into your beer. Gently swirl the fermenter or keg, and return it to your fridge or kegerator for 24-48 hours.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-If you used a keg, purge the headspace with CO2 to remove any oxygen that got mixed in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGelatin works rather quickly. It's extremely effective at dropping yeast out of solution, as well as lots of haze-forming particulates. I find that 48 hours later, the beer drops crystal clear. If you bottle your beer, rack the beer to a bottling bucket, and bottle away. Don't worry, there are still plenty of yeast in solution to carbonate the bottles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you keg, you'll have to draw off a couple very cloudy pints before the beer clears up. Gelatin literally drops yeast and particulates down to the bottom of the keg. Since the dip-tube draws from the bottom, that junk will be the first thing pulled from the keg. After a pint or two, it'll be smooth sailing until the keg kicks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kegkingau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43997265723491,"sku":"RET2171","price":1.45,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/9394\/9795\/files\/ret2171_neutral_gelatin_finings_7g.jpg?v=1770802764","url":"https:\/\/www.kegking.com.au\/products\/finings-7g","provider":"Keg King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
