So, following on from my1 last thread... Where I had trouble with excessive trub blocking my muslin covered racking autosyphoning to the bottling bucket...
I wondered is there much difference between:
Dry hopping just before fermentation ends.
&
Dry hopping after fermentation has ended and the ale has more or less cleared.
If there isn't, perhaps I would be better dry hopping once the beer has fermented out and been sitting a week or two longer to settle out and clear.
I am guessing that the bits of hop left floating in the beer after dry hopping mean the ale is going to be messy at transfer anyway, negating the benefits of a delay.
Consensus seems to suggest that I can't leave the dry hopped ale to clear as I will lose aroma before bottling.
Thanks for any ideas or opinions.
