    Carb pressure

    So I neèded to open the keg to remove the hop bag. I had previously set the gas at 30 for 24 hrs then at 16 for another 24 hrs. Since I had to open the keg should I repeat this ? As of now I set it at 16. There was some foam when I removed the bag. Thanks Steve

    Dry hop in a keg ? Or too late?..

    I was supposed to dry hop in my secondary before transfer to keg, but I kegged the beer last week and now remembered I was missing a dry hop. I kegged and sealed the keg with CO2. Can I open the keg add the additional hops and seal it then carb it next week? Or did I miss the boat? Thanks Steve
