Thinking out loud...
5-7 days...at the end crash cool it...will that get the hops to the bottom? Any probs with my suggestion please?
Thinking the loose hops is gonna be a PITA but I'll get there..
One of the good things with experimenting with dry hops is getting the right hops I'll would like and for all they'll be bottled, I could adjust dry hopping into to my corni keg..(this time a hops bag)
Any suggestions I'll be chuffed.

Racked the brew into the 3 dj's but been noticing there's still activity in all dj's.
Took a reading before I racked, 1.012 and no activity for 3 days.
Does it mean a smaller vessel and the addition of dry hops making the last yeast work?
And how about crashing them?
For the hops to submerge, and leaving nuff yeast for carbing (once the temp is sorted after racking.
Any help be appreciated once again

After cold crash the hops made easier but the leaf was a PITA to syphon :-(
Using a Muslin bag it's was done..
I tried not to taste it,, or work out the aroma...
Now the Dj's are in room temp now I'll get a SH reading before I decide to bottle n carb..
Really looking fwd to test them.

Taste- middle-ish bitterness
Marks 10-10
FIRST GOLD
Aroma- light hops
Taste- strong bitterness
Marks 6-10
BRAMLING CROSS

So far it's going to EKG...but the Bramling cross has a more satisfying taste of you we're supping a few bottles...
But a long way to go....

The leaf will always float even if you cold crash it in my experience. I have given up on leaf after dry hopping my Punk IPA and finding a 5" layer on top that was barely moist. Was a massive waste of hops and lost loads of beer. Wont be a problem carbing up as even after i have cold crashed and added finings it still carbs up in 2 or 3 weeks. Best of luck Bri.

Yes he has:mrgreen:
i think it's a reasonable way of doing labels,think it was around a fiver or so for 'for ever use':thumb:
i did have good-ish result...only 25g each hops.
each has good points and bad.
think pellets is the way ahead tbh.:thumb:
Chilled and pour one early!
Brambling cross..
Just the right of carbonation.
This time, there's a stronger (can't spell the word!) floura aroma and the taste.
But the big defference is the bittereness...boy chuffed I just put 25g in.
Learning all the time...the difference that a chilled bottle can change so much
I gave it 8-10...now coz of the bitterness be much lower. 4-10
Next the first gold..
