My third brew is a Triple Hearted IPA which I racked to the secondary and let it set for a week. After which I noticed that it had lots of floaters that settled within the top 2 inches. This is the first time that I just dumped my hops into the boiling wort without first putting them in a bag. The floaters look to be hops but they dont seem to be settling to the bottom. Yesterday after 1 week in the secondary I went ahead and dry hopped and this morning all of the hops are floating on the top about a ¼ inch thick.
Now Im guessing that all is well but I was hoping to keg this next week but Im not sure how to make sure that the hops dont get racked into my keg where you know it will cause all manner of trouble with my valves.
On a side note when I pulled the airlock to dry hop, the aroma of the hops already in the beer was unbelievable. Waiting to taste this is going to be a killer.
Thanks all for your help and advise.
