I've got an interesting issue. I've been playing around with gelatin and fining before bottling. My process is the chill the beer down to 30F for 24-48 hours, hit with 2 tsp gelatin in a half cup water, bring it to a quick boil in the microwave, then pour that straight in the carboy, swirl, and let sit for a few days (typically 4-5 days). When the beer goes into the bottling bucket it's crystal clear (still cold), and it's crystal clear going into the bottles freezing cold. Once it's carbed up (3 weeks room temp) it's crystal clear at room temp. Once the bottle goes back in the fridge it gets chill haze again. It's mild compared to what it would have been without gelatin but it's definitely there. The most recent test batch uses Wyeast 2112 and I used whirlfloc in the boil. The beer tastes like it needs some lagering so it's getting cold conditioned and such anyways. The plan is to let it lager till Christmas day. Anywho has anyone else had this happen before?
