Beer finnings ?

Hi, I'm on my very first brew and I have seen beer finnings, I'm brewing coopers lager, should I use the finnings and if so what are they for and when should they be added, thanks

You can use finings at the end of fermentation to help remove any particles suspended in the brew before bottling, this can help to leave less sediment in your finished bottles. It is not usually recommended by beer manufacturers if using extract ingredients kits and are not included with them, a guide with more information on this is here on this link:
