Someone else will be along soon with a better answer I'm sure but in the meantime... What do the finings look like, are they little bits, or is it a liquid?
What do you intend to do with them? Clear already made beer, or use them in the process of making the beer?

thanks for your reply

i intend to use them to clear already made beer, Olde Home Wrecker.

it is a bottle of Ritchies liquid finings

thanks, Pete

Oh well in that case you just pour it into the fermenter after fermentation has stopped. Try to do it without disturbing the CO2 layer on top of your beer..
You're supposed to stir it in, but who's watching?
Having said all this... don't bother .. just leave your beer longer, and it'll 'fall bright' on it's own.
Adding finings will remove most of the yeast, and you don't want that really, you want a bit of yeast in there just to help things along in my opinion.
This is homebrew after all..
