I want clearer beer! (I'm talking about nice hoppy IPAs here...)
Yes; I know, you can use fining agents (tried Biofine on a few brews with mediocre results), filtration systems (not sure I want to go there), or time, but I want to have my hoppy IPAs clear and bright while still having that fresh intense hop flavor and aroma. This means I don't want to wait 6 or 8 weeks for it to clear - it looses some of the hop intensity after that much time.
Over the past several months I've heard and read various opinions on the topic of clarifying beer using gelatin, and the results looked very promising, and I would like some input from the folks on this forum.
Does anyone here use gelatin?
What is your preferred method?
What results/challenges have you seen?
