I have an IPA that was in the primary for 10 days, I then moved it to the secondary where it has been for 2 weeks. I added 2 oz of dry hops to the empty (sanitized) better bottle, then racked on top of it. For the first week, the better bottle sat in my cellar area at about 60 degrees. The hops totally disbursed, but sat on top of the beer in a hop-sludge layer. They really didn't drop down at all until I cold crashed. Now there is still a thin layer of hop gunk floating on top... Big deal, or ???
I am planning on just racking to the bottling bucket and avoiding the last few millimeters of beer on top.
