I'm currently brewing up Yooper's Lakefront IPA clone(ish) and will be dry hopping in a couple days. I've only dry hopped once previously, and found that the hop matter did not sink even after 10 days, and it made racking quite a nightmare.
This time, I plan on throwing the pellets in a sanitized grain sock, and basically running the end of it through the airlock whole and lodging it there with the airlock itself. My thinking is that this will make it easy to simply pull up the bag on bottling day and remove most of the hop matter.
Does anyone have any experience with this technique, or a similar one? Any suggestions on how I might improve it? Thanks.
