Greetings,
Typically I’ll dry hop in the keg or some kind of secondary fermenter. For scheduling reasons, I tossed the pellets into the primary and planned on just cold crashing to drop them out. To do so, I typically fill a balloon with some CO2 and attach to my standard blow-off tubing. It got me thinking...as I have two currently unused three gallon kegs that are clean: couldn’t I just ‘prime’ one of those at around 1 PSI and hook it up to my conical to prevent oxygen ‘suckback’, versus the whole balloon thing? For reference, I ferment in the SS Brewtech BME buckets. I’ve had balloons that weren’t inflated enough, they’ve fallen off, etc. I was thinking this might be a little more of a full proof design...
Just a thought - comments and thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan
