So I typically dry hop with an 11" fine mesh hop tube inside the keg. I filled my keg from my fermenter, and went to toss in the hop tube with about 3 oz of pellets inside. Just as I saw the tube sink out of site, the lid popped off the hop tube (it grazed my hand that I was holding the filler...

So Im using Wyeast American Ale Yeast 1056. It was an older expired smackpack that I used a month ago for the last beer I made that turned out really well. I made a 1 liter starter and stepped it twice for that beer. It acted weird in that there was no krausen for the most part. Beer turned out...
