I've now read about the 50th way of using gelatin that I have found on the know-it-all-net, how about you with experience in using describe your process here...
I've seen everything from 1.5 grams to a tablespoon with boiling water on top, starting with cold water, pitching hot, pitching cold, in the keg first, only in the secondary.
Perhaps there's more of a consensus among us.

I use a packet of the stuff (I forget how big they are), mix it up per the package directions, and pitch it cold into the primary (note: you won't be re-using the yeast if you do this).

I found it tends to rip out a fair bit of the aroma on its way, so don't do this after dry-hopping or if you've got a particularly aromatic beer.
