I have keg hopped cold a few times now in a small metal hop spider and it works okay. But i was wondering if it would be better to not use the spider, and instead dump the hops in the cold beer directly, because i also have a floating dip tube.
So would the free hop pellets sink in the cold beer, allowing the floating dip tube to take clear beer from the top?
I am assuming the hop spider doesn't allow for as good of hop utilization.
I also ferment and serve in the same keg, and the trub falls out and never gets into the flloating dip tube im hoping the hops would act the same way.
Cheers!
