As Mike points out later in the post, different yeasts behave differently, also in respect to which fining works best. For ease of use, gelatin is best. Sometimes, however, a particular yeast may not settle with gelatin. One other word of caution: be *extremely* careful how much Irish Moss you use. Too much will strip away excessive amounts of lipids, and you'll end up with yeast cell wall problems. Flocculation is a cell wall function, and you may end up with a less flocculent yeast than you had without the Irish Moss.
