afternoon all.

a quick question. im just about to move my joungs bitter to the bottleing bucket, and ive just brought some beer finings. i was wondering if i added it b4 i started to transfer to the bucket or when it is in the bucket. :

What sort of finings are they DS?

its a packet of youngs liquid finings from wilkinsons.

My concern with finings is that it drops out the yeast too much for bottling. I've had situations twice where I have fined then bottled and there was not enough yeast to give a good secondary fermentation and the beer failed to carbonate.

I'd be tempted to skip fining & get it bottled.

This is just my opinion though - i'm keen to hear what others think :)

There should be no problem with fining beer prior to bottling . . . There will be more than enough yeast to carbonate. The only issue is that if any finings debris is disturbed and carried over it forms a very loose easily disturbed sediment in the bottle
