nice - me like!
you wrote "These hops soak in the beer for anywhere from a few days to several weeks" - does anyone really dry-hop for several weeks? wouldn't this result in a really grassy taste?
Thanks for the write up! I've noticed you and a few other sources use the nylon bags. I'm wondering if I can use some extra muslin bags I have laying around? Or would those be too porous and let pellet fragments escape?
Yeah, I don't typically dry hop this way with more than 2 ounces and using the 5 gallon bag definitely helps distribute the hop material for removal. You can also rack before removing the hops.Maybe it's just me, but I'll never dry-hop with a bag again, unless I do it in a bucket. It was hell trying to get that thing back out of the fermenter!
Nice write-up, though.
