Normally I dryhop in the keg using a mesh bag. This seems to work well.
Except I had 2 batches needing dryhopping and only one mesh bag. So one batch got the bag treatment and the other got the hops loose in the keg (4oz of pellets in 4 gallons).
Now that keg won't pour at all - presumably the dip tube is all blocked up with hop debris.
Anyone got a brilliant idea on how to get this keg pouring again?
I have floating dip tubes, so if I have to remove the lid and swap the dip tube with a floating one then that is my plan B. I'd prefer not to remove the lid though, it's an IPA and I've been very careful about oxygen uptake until this point. But it's not much good to me if it doesn't pour.
