So I dry hopped my secondary with 1/2 oz of Saaz pellets...loose...
Okay, I was lazy. I figured they would float, and then gently settle to the bottom.
Instead, they sort of spread out over the sruface and took on a nice "mold" look. Now, about 24 hours later, they are trying to fall to the bottom...get about 4 inches down and turn right around and return to the top.
Will they ever settle?
Am I going to have to work magic when I rack to my keg to avoid the trub "down there" and avoid the green slime "up there"?
Anyone offer any insights on the mystery (to me) of dry hopping with loose pellets?
And please refrain from suggestions about hop bags, leaf hopping etc...too late.
