They do add finings in some instances, you are correct, but you’ll also know that they’re not chemicals.

They do also treat the water so that it remains consistent but then again only with natural ingredients. A brewer will tell you that brewers water is the best water you’ll ever taste

What is used for finings? Egg whites? Fish bladder? Presumably the whole point is that they don't make it into the finished product anyway?

Given the pride that the Germans have in their beer purity laws - is there anything they do in Germany when makign lager that isn't standard practice elsewhere anyway?

I've not had a pint of lager since 2019. Don't miss it at all and when I smell it I do wonder - did I really used to enjoy drinking that?!
