This is the 3rd time I'll be brewing this magical beer but first time kegging and cold crashing with gelatin.  Once ferm is done and the bean gunk has settled for 2 weeks, I was going to:

1) transfer to keg
2) add bourbon
3) condition in keg for a few weeks @ room temp
4) cold crash
5) add gelatin to let remaining yeast drop
6) tap and enjoy after 2 weeks

Does this seem right?

The cold crash alone will drop everything out, since this is a dark beer ,IMO there is no need for gelatin

THIS^^^^why bother with gelatin?

+2.  You don't need gelatin here.

No cold  rash or gelatin the bottles of my first batch of this. It turned out great, big  row favorite. Couple days in the fridge and the 1450 was a nice tight little package at bottom of the bottles, so I am very satisfied with my results

So in general do you guys never bother adding gelatin to stouts/porters? 

[Pinski]

 I never add gelatin to any beer.

Same here.  Isn't worth the hassle to me.  99% of my beers will clear on their own.  The other 1% are only slightly cloudy and it doesn't bother me.

Exactly.

I add gelatin to my pale lagers because I think it seems to accelerate the conditioning.  ie instead of lagering for several weeks, add gelatin and it's ready over night.

I'm in the no gelatin camp as well.  Currently sipping on this American Pale Ale.
