I used RO water and ended up trying this method - aroma is wicked and flavour is pretty banging too. Letting it condition now but from the samples I’ve had there’s no burn whatsoever. Didn’t de-aerate my water but brought it to ~80°C for the slurry. Will let you know about DO pickup when I test it.

Positive. This collab was done a while back before flowables were really a thing.

Isn’t this high temp of water practically o2 free? I’ve heard that a thermal of that temp kills the o2 present anyways. I’ve used this method with fruit additions before and have gotten DO tested and still get numbers back as low as 5ppb. I know I read it somewhere, but I have a friend who is...

Let me try and find where I read this. I know Noonan briefly mentions this method in New brewing lager, but I’ll search for where Kimmich says this. I think doing a good job purging whatever you are using to send the hops in with co2 would combat any o2 pick up. And as far as the character...

I’m familiar with dip hopping - I’ve done it before along with the North Park extract method. My question was more so regarding the actual dry hop process, and the technique I mentioned above. I’ve heard that Greg Noonan used that method, but John Kimmich elevated the technique. The way I...
