Gelatin Clarifying Question
« on: February 28, 2019, 11:56:43 am »
After 3 years of homebrewing, I am finally getting a small freezer to use as a fermentation chamber and for cold crashing.
I have a question about using gelatin.  I'm still bottling.  Once I cold crash and add the gelatin, wait a couple days, do I need to let the beer return to room temperature before bottling for some reason or is it okay to go about my normal bottling procedure with the cold crashed beer and allow the primed bottles warm up afterward?

You'll be fine letting them warm up after bottling.  Even the clear looking beer will have plenty of yeast for the job, you'll add sugar, they will wake up and start carbonating whenever they finally warm up.
