Need some help

[silver02ws6]

My AHB Ruination clone has been in the primary for 5 weeks now. Based off some advice I got here I decided to just dry hop it in the primary and bottle straight from there.

The problem I am having is the hops are not falling. I twisted the primary a bit this morning and broke up a lot of what was left on the top but there is still plenty floating on the top of my brew.

What should my next course of action be? Do I need to transfer to a secondary or will it be ok in the primary for a few more days while the fallout continues?

Thanks for the help everyone.

How long have they sat? I just dry hopped on friday and it took about 2 days for them to fall from the surface, its bound to happen once they get waterlogged.

They have sat for 3 weeks

mine also got down to like 58F, I dont know if that had anything to do with it but you could try cold crashing, if that doesnt work just rack from under the hop layer with a mesh bag over your siphon.

My hops didn't all fall either. But I didn't care too much and bottled anyway. I did my best to avoid the large chunks though. Beer turned out great and haven't noticed any chunks in my bottles.

IM gonna give it a couple more days to let it settle back down since I probably stirred some stuff up shaking it today. Then bottle it and see what happens. Im sure it will probably turn out fine and if it doesn't its a good excuse to brew again.

i sanitized my nylon grain bag, and put my auto-siphon in it to siphon off the last time I had that issue. Sometimes they just want to float. I went to secondary for an additional week for clarity.
