So I kegged my Green Flash clone a few weeks ago and primed with sugar. In a hurry I forgot to add the nearly 3 oz of dry hop. Is it too late to add now? Or will adding pellet hops after its already carbonated oxidize the beer?
 
You could cheat and make a hop tea. That would also avoid the possibility of a beer volcano.
 
I dry hop kegs all the time with hops in a santised stainless tea ball. I take it out before a week is up though as thats long enough to infuse the beer and too long leads to grassy flavours I've found. I even made a soup laddle with long handle to sanitise and get the hop ball out easy. Some just put a bit of fishing line to pull it out.
