Do a drop test.

6 halfs, then 1ml in 1 up to 6ml in the last. wait 24 hours see which one has the clearest result and the firmest sediment . . . Scale up to however much that is in 25L.

Thanks guy's set my mind at rest, I added 50ml 8) it's in the fridge at around 5 deg C at the moment until Sat/Sun then i'll transfer to keg with some isinglass.

Vossy - no label, I got aux and isinglass from my local micro in an unlabelled bottle - £1.00 per ltr i'll let you know how I get on 8-[

Wez, why don't you put the isinglass in the secondary and then leave the yeast and fishguts behind, rather than have it sitting in the keg for the life of the beer?

Aux finings instructions say "don't add at the same time as isinglass". They don't say "add in different vessels".
