cold crash & dry hop
I have an IPA that's been in primary for 2 1/2 weeks with US-05 and its still very cloudy and I am wanting to dry hop.
can I do them at the same time or should I dry hop and then cold crash it a couple days before I bottle it. Or should I not worry about cold crashing at all. |
dry hop then cold crash
|
Why not let it go another week to see if the yeast clean things up and clear your beer up a little bit - then dry hop, then keg?
|
I prefer dry-hopping off the yeast. It just seems to me that the yeast cake absorbs too much of the delicious hop oils that I want to absorb, dagnabbit!
|
Do both! Dry hop while you cold crash, then do another dry hop in the keg.
|
rack-dry hop-wait a week-then cold crash if needed
done! |
let the yeast finish and settle before you do anything. patience patience patience

Thanks everyone for the input.
I normally do not secondary but that seems to be the what I may need to do to get this beer to clear... I will wait awhile longer to see if it clears more on its own then dry hop and crash it a couple days before I keg it. I was just kind of worried that crashing would diminish the dry hop.. I think the 96 IBU's may hold up... thanks again... |
