Biofine clear - do you need to rack off the beer??

FlyDoctor said:

I apologize if this has been covered - but looking through a few threads didn't tell me the answer.

I'm giving BFC a try this weekend on a bitter. My kegged beers always clear eventually, but only when I get to the last 1/4 of a keg. I know the best may be to "lager" all my beers in the keg long enough to clear them - but I'm too impatient. I usually am drinking the first pints from a batch 3 weeks after brewing.

My question is this: if I put the biofine clear into the keg before racking onto it, do I need to transfer out of that keg before consumption? Seems simpler to leave it in the same keg - but if the finings are bad for you if you ingest any - perhaps transferring off is best?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for the quick response - good information. To clarify - what do you mean by give it a few hours? Do you mean keep the keg at room temp for a few hours before chilling? Transfer the beer first, wait, then the biofine? Sorry to be dumb...
