Can't get powdered gelatin I would assume that leaf gelatin would do? What amount of gelatin in grams is required for  19 ltr batch? Time to find my jewellery/coke scales to weigh out the gelatin.

Too much Donny Brook fair one expects Give us a chance to check Tesco & the local Asian food store before you go wasting your diesel dropping it off to me (appreciate the offer).

Tesco Stillorgan had them, picked them up a few hours ago. Thanks for the offers of supplying them guys. Would 2gr in a 19litre batch be OK? Never dropped the temp in my brew fridge to 0C so should be a good test as its holding steady at 5C already.

Sound you need 7g or half a packet per batch of 23l, it's 12 in each of those so I guess 5-6g would do it
I flush with co2 stir in and flush again
Gonna try this on a Pilsner tomorrow.
I understand you have to get solution to 68 by zapping in a microwave?

I've bought the Dr.Oetker satchets as well. Was planning on using one satchet in a pint of water.

Don't mind using isinglass, tbh.

I use 1 sachet per 6 batches, same gelatin as you.

http://brulosophy.com/2015/01/05/the-gelatin-effect-exbeeriment-results/ gives everything you'll need.

CH quoted 6/7gr. You reference 1 pack doing 6 batches. The sachets I got are 12gr what sized sachets did you get?

Normal packets - not to hand right now. I got a box at the start of the year and I've only started my second sachet from it two batches ago. It's still more than half full.

I go religiously by http://brulosophy.com/2015/01/05/the-gelatin-effect-exbeeriment-results/ Check that and come back with questions/differences but it's my process, start to end.
