Std isinglass adition is 586ml per 41000ml or 1pint in a 72pint cask.
This would be 1 pint of diluted 1 plus 2 so 190ml of concentrated isinglass.
This would make a slurry of around 1.9 ltrs in a 9 gallon cask.
Upscale by 1000 for a big brewery production facility. Then you start to see why reclaim from bottoms is important, and why tons of yeast is produced weekly

The yeast will sediment out slowly and naturally but can take months. Stokes Law of particle sediment rates apply. Mega brewery productivity doesnt allow vessels to ne tied up for months or even weeks hence isinglss to clump trillions of tiny yeast cells together which then sink faster.
You then filter amd process the clear beer.

@kayak23
It came about as a bit of an accident actually. I put some milk on to make a hot chocolate but then realised I didn't have any cocoa so decided to turn it into a 'chai' instead.
Anyhow, grate some fresh ginger into a pan of oat milk or milk of your choice. Bring to a simmer, add sugar, take off heat, grate nutmeg into it and pour into mug and stir.
I might buy some cinnamon sticks and cardamom to add to it too. Also, I think you're supposed to add black tea but as I drink it at night, I prefer not to because of the caffeine.
Can't promise it will be as good as authentic Indian chai but hopefully you'll like it.

Mrs Superficial loves the Ribena Winter Spice that they seem to bring out in, er, winter. So much so that she bought about 10 bottles to store year-round. We've run out now but hopefully it'll reappear in the next few weeks.

Peppermint tea for me.

I'm quite partial to a boiling waters sans anything.

I always took an Oxo cube to work on nights in the prison service

Well this is clearly a euphemism for something obscene, but I can't for the life of me work out what it is

Redbush / Rooibos is my evening hot drink.  Not bad with milk either if you prefer a drink with a bit of body.

In South Africa I've seen a cappucino made with ground rooibos leaves, aka a 'Rooicino'.  Surprisingly good.

It's totally a Mumsnet thread in the making.

Bouillon can be quite nice.

I have sampled a mug of hot stock as well, as part of some Keto shit.

Taking OXO up the guard tower?

In addition to the hot blackcurrant and apple squash already mentioned, I also quite like a mug of hot lemonade (microwave it in the mug)...

How about live organic apple cider vinegar (a tablespoon) and 200-300 ml hot water, add honey to taste. Apparently super healthy, good for arthritis 'they' say. Came across it a nice little hut on Worthing seafront.
Also some rather nice tisanes here (I am NOT normally a non "real" tea drinker but there are some nice ones here, and an offer of. selection pack, as I recall) https://www.hollybotanic.co.uk/collections/tisanes
