Yeah I'm not doing that. I have no intention of opening the Vegan-Bashing door, but to me that is unnecessary and exclusionary. My beers do not need gelatine fining; whether or not the gelatine remains in the beer or not doesn't matter, its inclusion in the manufacturing process makes the beer non-vegan friendly.IPA wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 7:58 amI doubt that you will achieve the clarity I spoke about without using gelatine. The gelatine does not remain in the finished beer as it is firmly stuck to the bottom of the second FV along with the unwanted yeast. A much better idea is to not offer your beer to vegans. Brew two batches one using gelatine and the other without and show the vegans the visible difference.
With the West Yorkshire yeast my beers are coming out almost as clear as some commercial beers, and they are more than clear enough for me. Any residual clarity issues will more than likely be due to hop oils (the less clear ones for me tend to be those with higher hopping rates). The issue I am having is the yeast is no longer behaving correctly and is jumping back into suspension mid-pour, not getting the beer bright in the first plates.
