Hi all, I want to pick your brain regarding dry hopping. Log post coming.
TL : DR: best way to avoid oxidation in fermzilla, which sits at 10PSI at the moment.
I ferment in fermzilla fermenters, and currently I have an IPA that has stopped fermenting and I want to dry hop. I usually put a hop bag attached to a couple of magnets and just remove the outer magnet so it drops, but I've found that some pellets don't even get wet after I remove the bag, so I want to improve utilization. I have 2 ideas:
What do you think would avoid contact with oxygen in a better way?
Thanks for reading. Picture for reference.
Cheers!

I have 2 ideas:
- go the fastest route, open the fermenter, drop the hops, push some co2 and then purge.
- remove the yeast from the bottom, put the hops in the vase, put the vase back in the fermenter and push co2 to purge the oxygen inside the vase using a spunding valve.
