So I'm kicking around some process changes that will allow me to dry hop in the fermenter, cold crash, and transfer to the serving keg, utilizing natural carbonation while minimizing 02 exposure. Specifically, I'm thinking about adding a modest amount of sugar water plus a bit of yeast to the tube I use for racking to the keg, attach one end to my conical's racking port and then put a liquid QD on the other end. Let it rest for an hour or so, let the yeast get warmed up, then commence transfer.
Seem viable? Since I use the fermentation C02 to purge the keg, I don't want to open the keg after fermentation starts. I'm trying to think of ways to add the priming solution without exposing the fermented beer to 02. Good chance I'm over complicating things, I recognize.
