So I'm planning an ESB, and wanted to dry hop EKG in the keg. I ordered one of those hop ball things.
My concern is that most people dry hop for 1, maybe 2 weeks. This beer is for SWMBO, so I'm going to make sure it isnt drunk too quickly, so it may stay in the keg for 4, 5+ weeks.
What's going to happen 3 weeks in? Is there going to be too much hop charactor? Will nothing happen? With the hops disolve and make the beer cloudy or grassy?
I was thinking if there was a way to hang the hop ball, or suspend it like a 1/3 down from the top so that once we drink 1/3 of the keg it wont continue to be dry hopped.
Are any of my concerns even valid?
