So I have an IPA that I am dry hopping right now. I wanted to dose it with some gelatin to help it clarify a bit more before kegging. I am dry hopping in primary and I am wondering if I threw the gelatin in 5 days before I plan or racking it to the keg if that would have any detrimental effects to the dry hopping process. My alternative is to rack to secondary and throw the gelatin in there. I was just wondering if the gelatin would have impacts on the dry hopping aroma. Thanks.
 
Don't bother racking to secondary. The gelatin only takes a couple of days to settle out so I'd suggest leaving the beer in primary for a few more days and then add gelatin 2 days before you keg it. I use gelatin after dry hopping frequently, never had problems.
