Hi guys,
Wondering if anyone doesn't bag any of their hops (including during boil and dry hopping) and also doesn't cold crash. I'm brewing my first DIPA and trying dry hopping for the first time, and I threw my hop pellets (as I normally do) directly into the brew kettle during the boil without a bag. Just about every post I've read from other threads says that people tend to cold crash if they're not bagging their dry hops. Here's my plan... wondering if this would work or if it will have chunks in it:
1. No bagging hops during boil
2. Keeping beer in primary
3. No bagging hops during dry hopping
4. Transfer to bottling bucket
5. Bottle
Any thoughts? Or ways to make it less likely to get residue without bagging or transferring to secondary? I can't use gelatin finings btw (vegan).
