dry-hopping with whole leaf

[motobrewer]

do they ever sink? i have a IPA that I dumped 4oz of whole leaf into the primary after 3 weeks. Right now they're just floating on top, and a good portion of them aren't even touching the beer.

will they ever sink down?

they will mostly sink. I give mine a swirl to get them all wet.

Sanitize some marbles and put them with the hops in the hop sock. Stainless screws, nuts and bolts also work. SINKEMLOW!

After 5-7 days of dry hopping I will cold crash my beer and that's when most sink to the bottom.

Mine never really sink, although they do weigh down and submerge near the top. But I prefer it that way because them I can simply use a strainer to skim them off before bottling.
