So I used the Organocide to control my earwig problem and it did but, my hops are now ready to harvest and I was wondering if I needed to clean them some way to remove the bug spray or will it not effect the beer?

Agreed! By doing this you create a greenhouse effect which helps it begin to grow roots and sprout. It's like giving it a headstart.

I'd say, go for it. You'll never know till you try it. Thats what they did with the California Common. Who's to say others won't work out too? I've been thinkin bout trying it with this pilsner recipe I have...

The air that's in the bottle is gonna dissolve into the beer regardless, whether you shake it tentionaly or just by moving it from cellar to fridge. once the cap is on, its not going anywhere (unless of course, you purge each bottle with CO2 prior to filling or use o2 absorbing caps) And...

Ok let me clarify, there is CO2 present in the beer from the yeast. When bottled and shaken as stated, the CO2 is released in the small gap between liquid and lid, and like when you rock your carboy, this helps the yeast because there is less CO2 in the liquid to hinder it. Yes the gas doesn't...

So, when I make beers meant for quick consumption or ones that have very little yeast sediment (lagers) and want them to carb faster, I give the bottles a shake a day after bottling. It seems to break out enough CO2 to get the yeast going. In a week and a half to two, they're good and bubbly :D

"When the beer is fermenting, it produces co2, which mostly escapes out the airlock, but some of it can stay in solution in the beer. the hop particles are probably just attracting this co2 and that is the bubbles you are seeing." "Probably just some dissolved CO2 coming out of solution and...

I had that happen to me the last time I dry hopped with whole hops.
