Dry Hopping


Dry Hopping: Rules! If you can drink it fast enough, otherwise, it can get a tad vegetal (most likely due to the bottled brew still having traces of hop pellets since it isnt strained like the initial wort)...

You can see, above, the beginning of the dry hopping process with the Green Door, as I was racking into the carboy. I put in two types of hop pellets, then two types in normal bud form (within a steamed (to sanitize) bag). Let those work in the brew for around 12 days, until the pellets had settled out to the bottom.

I plan to experiment again with dry hopping soon.

More of the process:





More later... Next up, Bilbo's Brandywine, and etc
