Hi all! So here is what I did, and any pro feedback would be appreciated. I made a Stone Arrogant bastard clone as my first beer and I transferred it into the corny today, it tasted okay, just like old flat bitter ale. I used 2oz's of a Amirrilo/Simco blend of hop pellets in a hop bag to dry hop. I was under the impression you just leave it in your keg for the life of the 5 gallon batch. I was eager to taste my beer so I force carbonated it at 25psi, shook it for 100 seconds, disconnected and let sit for 1 hour. I then bled my pressure off and I now have it sitting at 8psi in the fridge. I made my first pour shortly after the bleed and it was all foam (SMELLED GREAT!!!!) after the foam settled down a bit there was a fine grainy sediment which i believe were the hops after being beaten down in the force carbonation. This is my question, or questions...
SHould I leave it be?
Should I let the sediment settle and transfer to a new corny to leave the remains behind?
Should I take the hops out at a certain point?
Did I do this right? Or did I completely make a bonehead move?
Thanks in advance guys, any feedback is greatly appreciated... Cheers!
