We've got our 3rd batch dry hopping in the secondary. Two Questions:
1. We filled the primary up to 5 gallons, but due to the loss after siphoning into the secondary, the 5 gallon BB is not filed all the way to the top. Is this going to be a problem or will enough CO2 leak to protect it from the air space?
2. I forgot to add the hop pellets to a bag, and now we're going to have to filter it somehow when we move to the bottling bucket. Ideas? I was thinking of fastening some cheese cloth to the bottom of the siphon.
