I have tended to use sanitised marbles to weigh the dry hop bag down

I wash my bottles in the sink then sanitize in the 5 gallon fermenting bucket when I am ready to bottle up from the carboy

I replace the 5 day hops for fresh ones, generally I use leaf hops as they don't disintegrate and get through the material I use. As for the grassy note I have no idea, others on here will do though

Was going to say your local micro brewery too, and take some of your beer along as well, it helps grease the wheels of industry and they can give valuable feedback

not enough oxygen perhaps ?

Grassy notes are supposed to appear if you dry hop for too long, around 10 days or so, I switched to a 5 day dry hop, replacing the hops for another 5 days Works for me

I did something similar a while ago and short answer was no it didn't, I will have changed the flavour a little but it was still poor tasting beer, cheap mind you just poor, was glad to see the last of it drunk

I believe they have been serving Red Barrel at the Peverell of The Peak in Manchester

I did a sweet milk stout a few months ago and has turned out really nice too I used my go to yeast for everything which is US-05

I do like citra and galaxy hops for tropical flavours

I have used MO in Pilsners before, they have turned out just fine

US-05 is my go-to yeast, use it for everything including stouts

It will be fine

That was a very misleading thread title, I was going to volunteer myself to sample it :beer1: :laugh8:

Am looking forward to the results
