I used beer since I felt using water would be "watering down" the beer. Like when you over reach your target OG you can add water and then pitch your yeast and be ok. But if FG too high you just can't add water and it be the same as your intended FG.
As far as "shaking"...I was assuming you wanted the gelatin to be thoroughly mixed in the beer to bind with all the "stuff". If it's not mixed well how does it bind with "all" the stuff? I've read where normally you pour in the gelatin mix and then rack the beer, which would kinda mix the gelatin anyway?
How exactly does the gelatin "mix" and do it's thing? Somehow it has to interact with "all" the beer to achieve uniform clarity.
