Hi all,
As I've moved up from a 1 gallon carboy to a 15 liter bucket for fermentation, I thought I'd dry hop by putting the hop pellets in a bag, along with a few marbles to weigh it down, and then suspend it with a thin wire so it doesn't sink down into all the muck at the bottom. I found this 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) copper wire that I thought would be handy to use (after sanitizing it), but wonder if the copper may harm my beer, or create off flavors? I could buy some fishing line I guess, but the copper wire would be easier to handle.
Any thoughts on this?
Cheers!
