Dryhop in keg not initially?

[FreakinA]

Ok So I kegged a beer 2 days ago, force carbing at 30 psi, about ready to turn it down to 12 and serve. This beer I think would be good with a little extra fresh hop aroma. Can I put an oz or two or hops in a muslin bag with a glass weight and throw it in the keg?I saw people do this when they were initially racking to the keg. Is it not ok to open it any more for fear of oxygenation?

That is a great way to extend the time that you have a big full hop aroma in your beer. Nothing wrong with it at all, although I would caution that it works better with whole leaf hops as pellets can cloud the beer as they disolve if they can make it through the mesh in the bag.

I do this with metal spice infusing balls. I just fill them and clip them to the dip tube and let them slide down the tube. Make sure the bag or container and your hands are sanitized. When you close the keg back up, put the gas on and bleed the top vent a couple times to burp the oxygen out of the top that you let in, and you're all set. Fresh hoppiness.

I would be more concerned about a CO2 explosion than oxidation. I de-gas before adding hops.
