Dry hopping won't give you much bitterness. I guess you could try boiling some hops for an hour. The question is (I'm clueless here): How much hops would you need to put into a small amount of water...

You're good. All of that CO2 will zap & kill anything that floats in the little hole (but it can't with a steady flow of CO2 coming out the hole). Sounds like a fun beer. Ya gotta love yeast violence.

Same here: Lost the silk and scuba gear in my twenties. 12 grandkids and hiking the AT are my big adventures now... when not brewing. I think of the song "glory days". But life is still good!
