Finings in Porters/Stouts

[PaulStat]

Probably an obvious answer, but is there any point in using finings irish moss/gelatin for these really dark beers?

Funnily enough I was going to ask the same question about wheat beer. I'm brewing one soon but not really up on the style. I once tried a Hoegarden and liked it - do they remain cloudy?

[mysterio]

Wheat bears are supposed to be cloudy, and it comes naturally from using unmalted wheat flakes in the case of hoegaarden, wheat malt in the case of the German styles. Don't bother with kettle finings or isinglass.

Porters/Stouts... like Daab says, unless you're a stickler for clarity then there's no need... personally i am a stickler, i use whirlfloc in my dark beers but generally dont bother with isinglass.

A protein haze is no bad thing in a wheat beer. I love a cloudy Bavarian 3056 Wyeast haze in a 50/50 malt wheat beer. You must strive for it. Subsonic.

I generally don't for porters or stout, but one exception would be for US-05
