Here is the situation:
I have a Maibock currently in the Kreezer cold-conditioning. I say cold-conditioning because in the brew process I did the long primary @ ~50F Followed by a D-Rest @ 65-68F. After this I racked to a carboy and put into the Kreezer @ ~34F. The gravity when I put it in the kreezer was about 1.012, which is pretty much full attenuation. Since the I gave a thorough D-rest I was told it would be find to go ahead and just crash it for conditioning.
My question is, would the yeast still have enough effect on the beer that putting in a clearing agent (gelatin is my norm) early would affect it? I honestly have no issues waiting, I'm really just curious and would like to know for efficiency's sake for later brews if a situation ever comes up.
Thanks!!
