Freaking out!!!

oooo bad. lol well it still has another week in the tormentor do you think I can add an Oz or so of cascade in a cheese cloth an just dump it the bucket?

 

[unionrdr]

.5 oz of hops is quite common for dry hopping down under. But the whole ounce is good too. Done that.

 

[cablecutter]

so just dumping it in the bucket is ok?

 

[unionrdr]

Some do,but I don't like extra sediment that doesn't compact too well on the bottom. I use hop socks.

 

[cablecutter]

is a cheese cloth ok?

 

[cablecutter]

P.S. the Cooper's can was pre-hooped not sure about the second can? that is y add the oz of hoops at the boil

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah,cheese cloth will do just fine. Just leave plenty of room,since one ounce of pellet hops will swell to about the size of a baseball. And the second can is listed as "munton's light malt extract",so I think it's un-hopped. Cooper's lists there un-hopped extract the same way,as are the orange Munton's cans I've seen that are un-hopped.

 

[cablecutter]

cool Thanks your advise haze been vary helpful I truly appreciate it

 

[cablecutter]

one more question. will boiling the cheese cloth be good enough for sanitation?

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah,I do it all the time. Glad to be of some help.

 

[cablecutter]

ok so I took the cheese cloth and put a shot glass in it. I boiled it for 20 minutes, pored out the water and added half an OZ of Cascade hoops. Then I tied the bag making sure to leave room for the expansion. i took it to the bucket and very slowly dropped it in. Ii'm going to let it sit for a week and bottle it. ...
