I can guarantee you, from firsthand experience, that Trillium dry hops at high krausen, utilizes tons of CaCl, and tons of adjuncts. FWIW
What exactly would that first hand experience be?? Did you work at the brewery?
Yes all the street beers and most hoppy beers until just recently have lots of wheat. Treehouse uses none.
HF doesn’t in most of theirs either. It’s not necessary for mouthfeel or haze.
Any time I’ve ever heard JC talking about their dry hopping process it’s always with a few points of gravity left, that’s definitely not at high krausen. Yes there is some activity but you need very little yeast activity to get “biotransformation”. 2-4 points from FG is all you need. All the standard Street beers (non DDH) have one dry hop at the very end of fermentation.
