They may never settle to the bottom. That's ok, just rack from under the floaties and above the trub layer.
I dryhop for 3-7 days for best hops flavor and aroma. And then just rack when I'm packaging the beer. It's easiest to just start from the middle with the siphon, and lower the racking cane as the level of the beer drops. That way I don't suck up any floating stuff, and avoid the trub layer on the bottom.
I did this the other day, but still managed to suck up a lot of hops. As soon as I stuck the siphon in, the hop layer that formed on the top just broke. A lot of the floating stuff slowly started to fall and I couldn't avoid siphoning it. Any tips?
