Gelatin V.S. Brett Pelicle

Thought I’d share my experience with gelatin fining through a brett pelicle. I just bottled two batches of Saison with Brett last night. Both had a nice classic brett pelicle. A few days ago I chilled them to o 30F, then pitched my typical 150F cup of gelatin right through the pelicle. I gave each fermenter a little 2 second rocking to get the gelatin spread out. Then it rested at 30F for a few days till I bottled. On bottling day the pelicles appeared totally unaffected. And the beer beneath was nice and clear as expected from the gelatin.

So, gelatin does its job. Pelicle does its job.

Yeah, that is crazy.  I have observed that in the past as well.  Some pellicles can be pretty pliable too.
