Great stuff previous post. I will add some too: Treehouse DOES dryhop at biotransformation for all hazy beers but not in Bright series. It says so on the back of Bright can back label. @Moose_MI you mentioned butterscotch in the beer .... diacetyl. You need to do a diacetyl rest, pump up...

Well sh*t, turns out I have a yeast allergy...:( (Gas, bloating, loose stool, etc) In spite of that I still plan on brewing my faves - Hazy IPAs & Pilsners. I have been reading all of the relative posts on here from folks that have similar issues. It looks like the best option is a plate...

By water purging first you get 99% CO2 in serving vessel. Removing the lid to add dryhop WILL introduce atmospheric O2 BUT it will mix with the CO2 at a rate slow enough that the O2 concentration in keg is still lower than in atmosphere - therefore minimizing oxidation of dryhops waiting in keg...

WARNING - LONG POST I have learned a lot from this thread so I thought that I would "give back". In addition to the general recipe posts, there are a lot of process related questions. I have version #24 & 25 of this beer fermenting right now. With the help of the HBT community and tips from...
