I like the idea of using magnets. Thank you for the information. I will try it on my next NEIPA

I would be very interested in hearing how it works and seeing it in action

I haven’t noticed much of a problem with hop particles through the fermzilla but I also use the floating dip tube I’m my kegs. I don’t see why you can’t use the clear beer draught system in the fermzilla if you’re concerned about the particles.

Thanks. That helps a lot. I wasn’t sure if a two day trub dump would mess up the fermentation

I understand I can do that but what about introducing oxygen? It is suggested to add the pellets through the cup on the bottom and to purge the pellets with CO2. I’ve had some problems with oxygen in my NEIPAs due to dry hopping

I’m fermenting a NEIPA and it calls for first addition of dry hops in two days. I am concerned about adding the hops through the bottom because of all settled trub, or should I do a trub dump? If I do a trub dump so early will it effect the fermentation by dumping all the yeast within the trub?
