I'm getting myself confused going around in circles trying to figure this out so I'll ask here as I am probably being blind to the solution. I do not have a fermentasaurus so am cobbling together some way of (probably incorrectly) dispensing hops into the pressurised wort whilst maintaining pressure. I know this can be achieved using the yeast bottle with fermentasaurus and was looking to get a parts list for similar method on another generic vessel.

I have a vessel that can maintain 29psi. I do not have anything else for the dry hop dispense.

Those of you who pressure ferment, do you maintain pressure when dry hopping or do you vent > add hops > re-pressurise with Co2?

Or do you have some method of maintaining pressure whilst dry hopping that you would be prepared to share?

Cheers and interested in peoples thoughts
 
Dry hop bags and Teflon coated rare earth magnets. If you have enough head space you can hold the dry hops in the hop bag above the wort/krausen, using one magnet inside each hop bag) and one on the outside. When ready to dry hop you can drag the bag (s) down into the wort and either hold them there or release them. You can then use the magnets to raise the bags and drain whilst cold crashing.
 
Ok this is really a simple answer as you say provided there is a enough headspace.
 
That is genius.

I would love to claim the credit but it was some Aussie I saw come up with the idea. Just make sure to get coated magnets, along with the hop socks they should stop any scratches; on the outside you can just use normal rare earth magnets wrapped in some old cloth.
