dry hop

Hi all, Trying to nail down my new england IPAs and improve hop flavor and aroma by spunding early on to capture more hop aroma and also start some natural carbonation. I want to do a closed C02 transfer right around day 3 or 4 (high krausen) from a fermonster into a C02 purged keg containing...

Looking for advice on a dry hop schedule for a pale ale that just finished with primary fermentation. It's a Columbus, Cascade, Amarillo pale at about 30 IBUs. SG of 1.052 and finished at 1.009 with WLP051. I'll be kegging and serving it at an event on the 15th of September, so I have a little...

Currently have a NEIPA fermenting under pressure and the one thing I always forget when I ferment under pressure is how damn fast it goes! Anyways I have a party in exactly a month that this beer is to be servered at. My plan was to dump the hops into the serving keg during the force carb...

I feel like I just had either a brilliant idea, or a completely idiotic idea: I have had problems with dry hopped beers clogging up my beer lines when I keg. But it always clogs at the poppet. Is there any reason to install a poppet in the line out fitting? This would let me cold crash in the...

Hey everyone, We brewed an American Pale Ale 7 days ago. It's been sitting around 61F in our SS Brew bucket. The original recipe calls for 2 weeks in primary at 68F 2 weeks of keg conditioning at 60F and a 7 day dry hop. We don't Keg condition, so thats one thing. But the main thing is we...

What’s up brewers? I made my third extract batch a few weeks ago which was a zombie dust clone. I let it ferment for 3 weeks and dry hopped it during the second week. It has been conditioning in bottles for two weeks. However, there is a lot of sediment in the bottles. It smells really good and...

I am planning to brew my fourth batch this weekend. I will be making a Kölsch but I plan on dry hopping it. Any suggestions on what hop I should use? Has anyone had success dry hopping a Kölsch before?

Hi guys, I just brewed my first NEIPA and I put a lot of hops in it (12 oz in 5.5 gallon batch). I noticed a "green" hop flavor, like if you just tasted raw hop pellets. I dry hopped once during early fermentation and once more in the keg. The beer is quiet young (about 2 weeks) so I'm thinking...

Hi everyone, I just ordered 4 pounds of hops (Amarillo, Mosaic, Citra, Kohatu) and I am thinking about making a very hop forward style such as a NEIPA. So this is my recipe so far: Batch size - 5.5 gallons Malt: Marris Otter - 6.5 lbs Vienna - 2 lbs Wheat - 2 lbs Flaked Barley - 10 oz Munich...

sorry I moved this thread to general brewing discussion (:

I currently have a NEIPA in my fermenter, bubbling happily. I added the first dry hop today, 48 hours after pitching yeast. I know double dry hopping is pretty standard procedure with these kinds of beers, and I was planning on doing the second dry hop once the beer has been transferred into the...

I looked around a bit and was reading that yes the dry hop bag should be sanitized but what about pre-package ones? In my case the pellets are sealed in the bag already and I’m not sure if it’s ok to spray the whole bag, hops included with starsans or if I need to find a way to break it open...

I've read numerous descriptions/accounts of grassy or vegetal flavors being noted in beer where dry hop additions were made and then left for extended lengths of time. Was wondering about anyones direct experience with this and the dry hopping schedule/conditions from which it resulted. I...

Hi, I need to make a batch before I leave for holiday. I plan to transfer to my secondary and dry hop some Centennial, Summit and Citra before I leave. I will be out of town for 6 weeks. Can anyone tell me if dry hopping in a secondary for this long will produce any bad flavours/excessive...

Hey guys! I’m planning in making a sour beer tomorrow based on Four Winds Nectarous. I have two things I’m concerned about and I wouldn’t mind some feedback on the recipe! 1. I know Four Winds uses Citra & Galaxy at flameout but how many g/l do you think is safe not to reach a too high IBU for...

I am waiting for my HomeBrew Supply Tropical Haze NE IPA (https://www.homebrewsupply.com/tropic-haze-nedipa-extract-recipe-kit.html). I have never done an IPA with this many hops before and I can’t freaking wait. I’m curious though what you recommend I do for all the hopping stages: 1...

OK, so I had a little misstep yesterday. I mashed as normal and thought everything was going well. I had the wort on the burner and it was just starting to boil. I threw in my hops for a 60min boil and turned my back for one second to set something down. Whoosh, the damn thing boiled over and...
