Should i use a dry hopper for New England IPA?

[lorne17]

Hello there,

I am brewing the Tropic Haze NEDIPA on New Years and I am curious if I should use a dry hopper due to the 12oz of Hops!?

If so, should I use it during boil, during steeping Hops, or during the first or second round of dry hopping?!

Recipe can be found here: https://www.homebrewsupply.com/media/pdf/Extract_PDFs/EX_INS_TropicHazeNEDIPA.pdf

Thanks,
Lorne

If you were going to use something to wrangle the hops so they don't cause an issue while racking to and from vessels I'd do it in the dry hop. There's only 1 oz of hops in the boil then several in the whirlpool. You can filter the kettle trub out when you rack it to the fermenter.
If you can cold crash you won't need a hop filter device for any stages. Simply cold crash for a few days then package.

My curiosity was peaked by this thread, not for clogging, but for an ability to squeeze retained beer out. Anyone do this.

Yes but in the kettle only
