Hello !
These days I was taking my hop bag out of the fermenter and came across a question, should I squeeze all the juice out of the soaked hop pellets or just let it drip a bit and take it out?
So I did both! I had a 13 gallons separated in two fermenters, so I squeeze all the juice on one and the other I just let it drip. The results was very different! The one I squeezed had a lot more hop flavor than the one I didn’t but I notice that when I squeeze the hop juice out some hop came through the bag as well so I’m afraid the it can cause some off flavors over time for the contact of the hop with the brew. What you guys think ?
