Hey All,
I like to dry hop with a lot of hops. Hop aroma makes me happy to say the least. I do have one problem: not being able to filter out the hop matter before bottling.
When I dry hop it seems that some of the material stays in the top of the carboy and when I move it to where I want to bottle, more gets in suspension and doesn't drop out so easily. I try to use the screen from my funnel when I rack to primary but some gets past me as there can be so much pellet material at times.
After having my latest DIPA the only thing I can think of is using a throw away hop bag on the end of the tube I have attached to the racking cane.
More or less I just want to gather your input on how to best keep hop material out of the bottle (it seems to add a vegetal taste over time, depending on the amount and duration since bottling).
Thank you for your time and help,
Scot
