Hi there!
I dry hopped my first beer about a month ago. Drinking it this weekend, I've managed to get a notable amount of hop matter in the final product!
Basically I ferment in a primary, and then normally bottle off the primary (bad idea I know), which I've had no problems with before, until I've dry hopped.
I used pellets and have heard they are supposed to drop out, but it seems they didn't - and a lot of them remained floating. I now have the capability to rack to a second (new purchase), but cannot cold crash due to lack of a fridge.
Should I in future do any or all of these?:
A) secondary and wait
B) some sort of filter when bottling
C) bag up the hop pellets (v fine muslin)
D) SOME TIPS I MIGHT BE MISSING
any suggestions welcomed
cheers
