Interesting results!The last thing I noticed is about those who use a separate vessel for their dry hop. In general they use more total WP +DH hops (17 oz vs. 13.8 oz), higher O.G. (1.075 vs. 1.067), higher F.G. (1.020 vs. 1.014), and higher ABV (7.7% vs. 7.1%). They also almost exclusively use Pilsner as the base malt. I interpret this as putting more effort into trying to chase the top tier, more extreme beers like Brujos & Fidens.
I'm trying to better understand the benefits of using a seperate vessel for dry hopping. Is it to get rid of as much yeast or sediment as possible? Or are there other reasons as well?
The reason I'm wondering is that I usually dump my yeast after fermentation and I think it has the same effect. Might be wrong.
