I'm brewing my first beer (IPA) and just inserted my dry hop in the primary bucket.
I'm a newbie but read that Oxygen is not a friend of the beer, so is there a way to avoid inserting lot of oxygen when you put your dry hop into your fermentation bucket?
I waited that the airlock stopped making bubbles before inserting the hop bag into the primary, I had to unlock the lid to put the bag inside, probably inserting lot of oxygen in there.
Just want to know if this will impact the taste of the beer, and if there is a way to improve my dry hopping technique. Maybe inserting the hop bag before fermentation is 100% complete so that yeast consume to Oxygen inserted?
