So, I have a bangin IPA carbed up and at serving pressure. I did a lot of research and it sounded like a good idea to dry hop right in the keg with pellets. I have 2 oz pellets in a paint strainer bag in there somewhere. Originally I wanted to hang it with floss, but I kept getting a CO2 leak so I just decided to drop it in and let it do it's thing... thinking that if anything made it out of the bag, it would just settle to the bottom.
After pouring a half glass off, I thought the second would be nice and clear. Not so. There aren't any big chunks, but a fine... sort of "hop dust" that's a little gritty. Now, the hops have only been in the keg four days so I'm hoping the problem will fix itself over time, but if it doesn't I'd like some suggestions.
Fish out the hop bag and let everything settle?
Add gelatin?
Rack to a new keg?
Hoping this is a common thing, because I'm loving this brew and plan on having guests who appreciate beer next weekend.
