Subject: Gelatin for clarification - effect on yeast?

For those of you with pointy heads or insane amounts of brewing-related
knowledge, perhaps you can help...

When you add gelatin to clarify beer, does it also cause the yeast to drop
out? Or will it leave the yeast alone to flocculate at its normal rate?

Brew on!

Subject: Re: A Light Fizzing

Hello,

By way of introduction, my name is Liam, I'm a long time lurker, and
fairly infrequent UK based brewer.. (But hoping to pick up the pace a
little soon!)

Anyway, I've never brewed with the Dupont yeast, but my wife has just
bought me a copy of "Farmhouse Ales" by Phil Markowski and it has a
long section on the Dupont yeast. Apparently it may go exceptionally
slowly, but the wait is worthwhile. Also, they apparently ferment at
around 30 deg C at the Dupont brewery, although Markowski says that 25
should be sufficient...

Best wishes,
Liam
