I received the following response to an inquiry to DOW:

METHOCEL SG A150 FDG has been discontinued. Possible replacements are METHOCEL SG A7C, METHOCEL SG A16M, or METHOCEL MX.

For samples and pricing information please contact Ciao Imports at (866) 249-0400.

Now, Ciao Imports is perhaps better known as willpowder.com, and they carry (only) the SG A7C.

According to a data sheet they sent me, SA A7C has a medium viscosity (700 centipoise), an optimum hydration temperature of <10C, and makes a very firm gel at 38-44C.

That sounds like what I need for fining a consommé, or for making hot ice cream. A pound canister is $31 plus shipping. Smaller sizes are also available.
