Hello all,
Is there an actual reason to drop the yeast and trub from a conical before pouring hop pellets in to dry hop? I understand you should do this if you are looking to harvest your yeast, but if you are not harvesting at this point, is there a reason to drop the trub and yeast before dry hopping after fermentation? The trub is already on the bottom of the conical, followed by heavier yeast and most of the yeast in suspension with the hop debris should fall out when cold crashing after days of dry hopping. As long as the total debris and hop matter remains below the racking arm, I do not see this as a problem.
