Like the title says: Has anyone dry hopped at yeast pitch? If so, how would you compare it to dry hopping normally (after fermentation)?
It's been widely stated that dry hopping during active fermentation will cause the yeast to pull down the hop oils when they floc and blow off hop aromatics through the airlock (if not fermenting under pressure), all resulting in less hop aroma in the finished beer. If anyone has actually tried dry hopping at yeast pitch (before fermentation), I'd be curious to hear your results.
Thanks in advance!
