Hello yall,
I used my first harvest of patio grown centennial hops to dry hop an imperial ipa. The dry hopping is two days in, and I noticed that half of the star San in my air lock had disappeared, and also that my once verdant hops had turned brown.
I proceeded to refill my three piece airlock and noticed that the cap that moves up and down was immobile when it should have been floating. I tapped it and half of thr star San was sucked into the carboy, on top of my dry hoppin hops. Yes this is likely due to temperature differentials and all that.
If in fact the star San leaked onto the hops slowly over the course of thr past day, will this have ruined the aromas, or worse madey beer a funky flavored mess?
Thanks in advance for any comments!
