Ok, so I have an IPA that I am dry hopping in the secondary. I wanted to do a 2nd dry hop addition like Vinnie Cilurzo reccomends in the latest zymurgy edition. Here is my issue...
I've got a fair amount of headspace in my seconday and I don't want to oxidize my beer when I open the top (I use a carboy cap) to add the 2nd dosing of hops.
So, I was wondering if it would help, after I drop the hops in, to take off that white cap and hook a co2 line up to the spout, blow some gas into the spout and through the airlock, then cap it quickly. Or is there a better way to do this???
