Talk:Isinglass

message: Isinglass is also window material. In the musical 'Oklahoma', there is 'the surrey with the fringe on top' containing this line: 'With isinglass windows you can roll right down, in case there's a change in the weather'. Isinglass is heat resistant, and was once widely in use for the glass of hearths.
That seems to be eisenglass, not isinglass.
AKA mica. Eisenglass, btw, would mean something like 'iron glass' in German, but that could be faux etymology... Radioflux (talk) 20:02, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

message: "Isinglass finings are also used in the production of kosher wines."
Isinglass is one of the ingredients that infamously renders wine not kosher. The issues of wine in halacha (Jewish law) are fairly complex, but isinglass from sturgeon would definitely render wine not kosher. For this reason I am puzzled by the above statement, when the fact is that many (non-kosher) wine producers use isinglass for the same purpose as brewers, and in both cases it renders the product non-kosher. Perhaps someone should research this and alter the final statement of the article.

message: I am removing all the current external links.  One is a commercial site. All the other links are to sites about fermented beverages and if they are vegetarian/vegan or not.  This article is about isinglass not vegetarianism. Isinglass is not the only ingredient that makes these beverages unsuitable for vegetarians/vegans. Milk, blood, egg whites, gelatin, and casein are all used as finings. These lists do not differentiate between what makes the beverages unsuitable. These sites may help illuminate another site but are inappropriate here. --Weetoddid (talk) 00:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I do not see any way in which this image of a smiling man standing in a filthy room with two metal kegs on the floor illustrates what isinglass is or even how it is used in beer-making. Nothing in this image - as far as I can tell - can be identified as isinglass, although I can assume that it is being introduced somehow through the grungy plastic tube that enters one of the kegs. I think this image is useless at best, and even confusing, and should be removed.
Having a useless or confusing image is worse than having no image at all, and to add sufficient text explaining how this image illustrates the use of isinglass would not be worth it in such a short article. The article already says how isinglass is used in beer-making. What does this image add? Nothing that I can see, except questions about why it is here.--Jim10701 (talk) 16:40, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
