So I bottled two batches today.......Dang I hate to wash and sany bottles.....
Anyway my Pete's Wicked was a dry hop beer and I did it in secondary with hop pellets....
I made the mistake of direct dry hopping with pellets. So the pellet material was mostly on top and in cake....However some still in beer.
I heard no problems just use the auto syphon and it'll keep it out. I looked at it and said no way. I heard also about panty hose on tip so I wen that route. I got 4 gallons out but once I got to the last gallon it choked and I couldn't get it started again.
Also noticed the pellet material had got kicked up so it was all over the last gallon so I did the un thinkable and let it go..........
I got 1 and 3/4 of a case instead of my classic 2 cases with some to spare but damn it smelled and tasted good so I'm gonna have to go with acceptable loss.
Now the question is what should I do in future? I'm thinking a hop bag but will this allow the beer to get all the benefit of a dry hop?
