    I ended up cooling the primary bucket for 24hrs, racked to the keg and then added dissolved gelatin. I was trying to get this ready in time for the homebrew club meeting, so I set the pressure on 30psi and shook the keg a bit for several minutes. I only had ~24hrs to let it sit before the...

    The primary bucket has been sitting in the keezer since last night. Took a look today and there are still some hop particles floating at the top. It's in a bucket so it's hard to tell, but still looks pretty cloudy (probably the same as last night when I took a sample). Dissolve gelatin in...

    Yeah, I dunno. I just tried my neighbor's first IPA tonight--he cold crashed with gelatin and it was nice and clear and tasty. I'd just be happy if mine tastes good and is well carbonated. I should at least hit one of those targets with the kegging operation ;)

    Thanks for all the tips... The gelatin exbeeriment is pretty interesting--goes to show how people's senses and perceptions are all over the place. And how you can make a fine beer that some people will like with or without a certain technique or ingredient. Seems that if you can detect that...

    So does temperature or gelatin affect the dry hopping results? I'm 3 days in with the dry hops, so if I want to cold crash and still keg at day 5 to avoid grassy flavors I'd need to chill it tonight?

    Thanks everybody for the replies! @Mase, you mean cold crash in the primary bucket? I take that's what you meant because you said trub cake, but I guess what remains in a secondary carboy is also a trub cake but just of lesser proportions? Seems if I'm going to minimize the chance of clogging...

    I'm brewing NB's Kama Citra Session IPA extract kit with Safale US-05 Ale Yeast. Tomorrow makes two weeks in the primary ranging from 62F at night to 65-66F during the day. I'm not seeing the airlock burp, but I don't watch for very long. But if I press lightly (very lightly) on the bucket's...
