In this episode, I walk you through the process of dry hopping your homebrewed beer. While this is the method I use, this is definitely not the only correct way of dry hopping your beer.

Good luck. Can't wait for taste time.

[jbrookeiv]

@pinkync Me neither! Seems like it is taking FOREVER!

For a double IPA rye IPA or normal IPA I don't think its overkill to use 2 oz or even 3 oz in the dry hop. I think 4 oz is overkill in most cases. Personally I just toss the hop pellets in there no bag no nothing. They start floating on top and sink to the bottom in 3-5 days.

@Tantrum777 I agree that I probably could have used all the hops, but I wanted to see how the kit was with just a small amount of tweaking. If this recipe goes well, I will definitely up the hops in the next batch.

You must be mad sanitizing! It will kill your yeast and you might not be able to condition! Just dip it in boiling water dude

[DrMikeNichols]

interesting method; the sanitizing could be done before adding the hops; I would just use hot water for this, no chemicals

have not racked to a secondary in years. If I dry hop, I will in the primary, and then bottle. The beer will clarify on its own in the primary. The yeast will take care of that.. I usually let it sit in the primary 3 no more than 4 weeks, and bottle. Beer are always clear. "Clarity Is Overarted" anyways. :)

i boil the paint strainer bags in water, they have sizing in the mesh from the manufacturing process.

i dry hopped 1 time in primary and didn't like the results, i got a plastic hop taste, now i dry hop in 2nd glass carboy with whole or plug hops no bag. 2 weeks primary, 1 week 2nd, then i dry hop 1-2 weeks, 1-4oz hops. i use a food safe rubber band and a small mesh bag on the auto siphon, works great no hops in my beer and its crystal clear......... BREW ON !

Nice video! I've done it similarly with the mesh bag, the only difference being I've used leaf hops.

I like that fermenter, especially the easy-open lid. Where'd you pick it up?

[difflock77]

cool .............

Why not sanitize the bags before you add the hops?
