About a fortnight ago I put 5 gallons of beer into my king keg and added the auxiliary finings, then the Isinglass, then the dry hops.
This should have done what it usually does and given me crystal clear beer within a day or two. No such luck. The beer is still a bit cloudy. It's almost certainly because the temperature in the place the beer is stored got up to nearly 20C when the weather got hot. I guess it denatured the isinglass.
Can I add the same amount of isinglass again? Or do I just have to wait for nature to take its course and let the beer clear naturally over time?

It should clear in time but if it tastes fine, why n9t drink it as is? I brew some that is meant to be cloudy.

It's cloudy 'coz it's got yeast suspended in it. So it doesn't taste too great!
Unlike a beer which is cloudy because of the grain bill--a wheat beer for example--where cloudy is fine.

Adding more finings should be fine but if it tastes ok why bother?

If it tastes bad after a fortnight with finings i don't reckon it's yeast that is the problem.
