I don't use a secondary when brewing, but do all my ales with longer primary, to good results. I've never attempted dry-hopping because of this, but it was recently suggested that this is something I should try in primary. I'm looking for suggestions and techniques to do this correctly.
1) Should dry-hopping in primary be done with whole hops only, or can I use pellets?
2) How do get the hops out of the primary prior to racking? If I use a straining bag, will this work for pellet hops?
I've got 2 lbs. of pellet hops on the way and am looking forward to trying this if it's feasible.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
