I know this has been discussed a lot but will throw it out as many of us ferment with different equipment.
I brewed an IPA saturday. Double batch and I use fermonsters with adapted lids with CO2 and gas posts with floating diptubes to try O2 free transfers , or at least limit o2 exposure.
It has been day 6 and activity has slowed so I am thinking of adding my hops soon. I know when I open the lid o2 will enter but I don't have a choice at this point with the procedure I am using.
Not sure if I want to dump 2 oz in free or use the muslin bags with a shot glass for weight ? thoughts?
When I do add the cascade I can hook my gas on the post to purge some o2 but I know some will be obsorbed in the beer.
Does this method sound ok?
Thanks
