I have used isinglass ie fish guts in all my home brews with great success. It binds with the particles in suspension and falls to the bottom. I siphon off the top and get good clear beer. It's all good.

Any preparation prior to use? Any fish gut you prefer? I wouldn't imagine there is enough sturgeon guts for the entire industry.

I'm really surprised! I have never heard of that before in home brew or in any brewing process. I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and sure enough you're right.

I guess I got to eat some crow. That's alright though. I'll wash it down with a beer. ; )
