Jim,
Egg whites are often used to reduce tannins, so is gelatin. Here is
the procedure for egg whites.
Stir 1/2 teaspoon salt into 1 cup of water until dissolved. Separate
the egg white and add twice as much of this salt solution to the egg
white and mix it into a slurry. Let the foam subside before adding it
to wine. The French usually do this in a copper bowl but I'm not sure
if that matters... 1 egg is probably enough for 5 gallons Imperial.
Here is a nice link on fining from the university of Arkansas:
