Using Gelatin

[walcotteric]

After using gelatin to clear the beer up, do you need to let the temperature of the beer come back up before bottling? I've read a ton on using gelatin, and I think I'm clear on every step of the process except if I need to do that or not.

Thanks!

No there is no need to do that.

Your bottling calculations should still however use the highest temperature the beer reached after fermentation had stopped not the cold-crash temps.

Nice pictorial Gavin!

His pictorials are only bested by Playboy. The only beer I've had that gelatin didn't do anything for was a brown ale that used Windsor yeast. If there could be a ZERO flocculation yeast then that is the closest you'll get. It only cleared after many weeks cold.
