dry hopping? what would use

[donald stewart]

HI, what would use? I  have just tried my pills ( out off the fermenter ) and it needs a bit more hop to it.

have not had a go at dry hopping yet.

was made with Motueka 30g @ 90min-25g @ 60min - 15g @ 15 min - 10g @ 5min

what do you think i should dry hop with ? and in the fermenter or in the keg

thanks

If its all Motueka why not dry hop with it? I always dry hop in the fermenter, before I crash cool to keg, I find that the crash cooling causes most of the hop matter to drop out when the yeast flocculates.

hi, thanks for that . how many grams in the ferment?

You may want to consider making a "hop tea" - boiling some more motueka for say 5-10min to extract some more hop flavour. Then also dry hop for some more aroma.

 

Some people use a coffee plunger to strain off the hops - I usually just bung it into the fermenter like Reviled Says. I usually bulk prime as I have an eclectic collection of bottles (all different sizes) so when I transfer to the bottling bucket I cable-tie a 20cm/20cm square "bag" of swiss voile onto the end of my transfer hose and filter out any big bits when I transfer. (Make sure you santise everything well)
