I did a second dry hop in my IPA of 2ozs. I used pellets hops and put them in without a bag. I am racking to my keg after two days. I didn't think this one though and now I am thinking the hops won't drop to the bottom before I rack to the keg. I rack with a speidel fermenter via the spigot on the bottom. I am concerned I will transfer a lot of the hop particles.
1) if I transfer a lot of the dry hop will 2 ozs be enough to clog my dip tube?
2) if the hops will present a problem what's the best way to install a filter at the bottom of the dip tube?
3) if a filter is added to the bottom of the dip tube would that causing extra foaming if I bottle off the keg?
Unfortunately, I can't wait an extra few days to let the hops clear. I usually do my second dry hop in the keg with a bag, so don't mind the first few pours having hop particules. I am just concerned about the popet clogging.
I have an idea and have tested with pellets in water. The idea is transferring to a bottling bucket and then using a mesh filter in front of the spigot. I know I am introducing oxygen into the beer but figured it's no different than when I bottled.
Thoughts, suggestions?
