All,
I have one batch under my belt with good success. I dry hopped this batch using a suggestion from a forum member. I placed the hops in a grain bag and weighed it down with 5 sanitized marbles. Worked great! (The bag actualy floated to the top when I bottled a week later)
QUESTION: I sanitized the grain bag in Idofor and rinsed it with city tap water prior to dropping it in the batch. Is this required? Can I just sanitize the marbles and go with it? I am concerned that leftover idofor will ruin the batch. What is the preferred method of dry hopping?
Fermenting: Northern Brewers Chinook IPA
Thanks again.....
