OK I love my IPAs but I always seem to get knocked when judged for oxidized off flavor.
when I currently dry hop I put my leaf hops in a bag, hang it in my keg and then fill keg with Co2 to push out the air, then slowly fill keg with beer from carboy.
now I do it this way to let the Co2 replace the air in the hop leafs. but I am having 2nd thoughts on this.
should I be using pellets to dry hop with? no oxygen in pellets. and do the same procedure.
How do you dry hop and not get the oxidized off flavor?
