Tried Nobbyipa's Punk Number 3 recipe last weekend (thanks Nobby!) with S04, got 1050 which is now down to 1008 so a wholesome 5.5%
At day 3 I lobbed in all the dry hops (putting the leaf through the blender first), wow, what a lot of hops. Gave it all a good santised stir, to wet the hops, hoping to encourage them to sink.
Going to leave it for another week in the FV - heater is off now, so temp should drop to garage (about 14 today).
I'm hoping the yeast will clear up, and drag the remaining hops to the bottom. (Ha, there's an inch layer on the top of damp hops still).
Then transfer to either FV2 for a week or straight to PB if it looks clear enough.
Now, with this amount of hops in there, all either settled, suspended or floaty, it's going to be quite a leafy ale.
Anyone any experience / tips for getting rid of the hops at the end? I normally transfer to the next vessel (FV2 or PB) through tap at bottom taking care to leave the trub behind, however I think this one's going to be a little more tricky.
