I've only had this happen once and only noticed when keg had kicked and I saw a clear booger like thing at bottom of keg and thought that's the geletin.
Yeah, It's pretty much Clear booger like things. I just can't think where I went wrong or done something differently. The gelatin/water mix was clear and fully disolved. The Beer was 1c and I agitated lightly once full.
Na surely not. If you don't trim your dip tubes in keg then that glob woulda probably slid down right under the pick up and that's what you got on your first draught woulda been a big Goobie yuk! But after a another draught or two it should pull clear and we know it'll clear all by itself in a month or so but it shouldn't ruin your beer.
Unfortunately haven't cut my dip tube. I am considering replacing with a ball float but never really considered taking the inch or so off my dip. I may however look at doing this next.
You only sacrifice a few ounces at the end of the keg, but it really helps. Especially with late hop additions.
It should eventually settle to the bottom. What happened to cause the jelly was you didn't stir it in well enough. Same thing has happened to me but it eventually settled out.
I wouldn't expect to clear that quickly, the gelatin takes 36-48 hours to settle out. Even PVPP takes a while, sometimes up to a week or more. The results are a beer that is just as clear a filtered beer. But it takes at least 36-48 hours for gelatin to clear. Even if finings aren't used, cold crashing a beer drops out a lot of unwanted debris.
Pity you can't run it through a fine filter like a sive to get these larger particles.
Won't those particles settle out if you let the grain sit long enough? If not, I'd recommend you get a two-stage fining agent like Super-Kleer. It has finings for both positive and negatively charged particles.
