Hi all, I want to start out letting everyone how informative this site is and how I love it! First time caller long time listener.
Today I've got a question about dry hopping. I brewed a beer it is a brown. The fermentation has stopped (~4 weeks) and I racked the beer into a keg. I racked the beer onto about five ounces of simcoe hops. I used pellets and a fine mesh bag. I then put the keg into my keezer and started to charge it using the slower force carbing methodology.
I wanted to pour some beer in a cup to see color from the tap. The beer has the appearance of chocolate milk. I believe the cloudy qualities are coming from the hop pellets. The "chocolate milk" looking beer tastes pretty good but really really really hoppy. I am pretty sure they are hop pellets in a hazy suspension. Does anyone know how long this will last? I was thinking about transferring the beer to another keg via in line filter to get the hop sludge out of suspension. any suggestions?
