Dry Hopping in the Keg

derte · 01-18-2012, 11:28 PM

So after reading time and time again on HTB about how people liked to dry hop right in thier keg i tried it myself. Just a little wheat beer that I like to have on tap, but dry hopped with some Amarillo for 7 days, in muslin bag. The 3rd glass still looks like carmel milk!! How much sediment did dry hopping create in my corny? FYI it still tasted good, just wish it was a bit more carbed @ 7 days in Fridge with 12#'s

Leaf or pellets?, have had a keg full of floaters when using pellets without sealing the bag correctly.

You need 25 posts before you can include images.

As far as how odd it looks.... yeeeaaaah that'll happen. But here's the thing:

Wheats are going to look cloudy, especially if you used a weizen yeast. These are known for staying in suspension and making your beer look cloudy. Think of any witbier you've ever had.

Pellets in a muslin bag - suspended in the keg via fishing line somewhere in the midde

Just used wyeast 1010 American Wheat. Fortunately the smell was amazing and the taste was awesome.

Wow that looks like the iced coffee I had tonight. doesn't look like hops to me. Maybe the keg just needs to rest longer for stuff to fall out of suspension and clear up.

2 weeks in primary
1 week in secondary
Transferred to keg and dry hopped for 1 week

FYI about the 5th glass looked much better

Yeah and I remember it being much clearer going into the keg...

Looks like yeast cake to me. Later beer should be much clearer.
