Here's the dumb question though. Even if I am at or close to final gravity, is opening up the lid of the fermenter just enough to get the bag of hops in too risky? Pellets through a port on top seem safer, but I have to get the whole lid off for this.
Also, is it crazy to sanitize the hop...
I am on my second brew and decided to give dry-hopping a go in my MiniBrew Conical. I have seen some dialogue on dropping the trub/yeast, keeping in a bag or not, and a few other topics. I did search for a while and couldn't find the specific answer to my question, but please forgive me if it...
