beer finings and wine finings

[bomberns127]

can anybody tell me if you can use wine finings for beer?
i have some 2 part youngs wine finings sachets, i was wondering if they can be used for clearing beer? it would be easier than travelling 30 mins through bad traffic just to get some beer finings.
cheers.

i have done it in the past but it tends to leave a tarty taste to your beer . i dont use any fining at all now just bring the temp down to around 5-8 degres c and give it time to settle on its own it may take longer but its worth it :
