    New to kegging and my first brew is just getting ready to drink from the keg.

    My first three 22oz pours have been full of floating hop particles.

    It sat in primary for two weeks, secondary for three weeks and the keg for three days. It was double dryhopped, but when I racked to the keg, I strained it through a nylon bag to catch most of the dryhop particles.

    How many more pours can I expect to be full of hops? It is just getting cold, will that cause more of the particles to fall out of suspension, thus getting more of them up the dip tube?

    What tips do you have for clearing beers that have been dryhopped?

    I would est. 5 pints, post when it clears...

    don't know how fine the nylon was but cheese cloth works great.
