I want more aroma than I am getting from dry hopping. Here is what I currently do: After secondary I transfer the beer to a corny keg. Then add 1.5 oz whole leaf centennial to a weighted paint strainer bag. After putting the lid on the keg I purge the air out of the keg and pressurize with...

I seem to have bowel issues the day after having more than two pints of home brew. For a pale ale or IPA I primary for about a week, secondary for two weeks then keg. I use Whrilflock as a fining and my beer is pretty clear. I usually only have a little bit of sediment in the bottom of my...

If you are going to dry hop in a keg you shouldn't use pellets in a tea ball. I poured my first glass last night and it was really good but had hops in the bottom of the glass. Oh well. live and learn... I'm de-gassing it now and will transfer to another keg using a muslin bag over the racking...
