    Dry hopping in Grainfather Conical- avoiding blockages

    I’ve just bottled after dry hopping with hops and juniper berries. The sample valve got completely blocked with these ingredients even though a drew off trub first. Perhaps I should have cold crashes first. I’ve seen hop tubes being used but how do you suspend these or don’t you need to. Any...

    Dry hopping timings

    I have just brewed a hoppy golden ale which requires dry hopping. At the moment, my fermentation schedule is 7 days @ 18C, then increasing the temp one degree C per day over 3 days, then cold crashing for 2-3 days. Total 13 days. I understand that you should not keep the hops in the beer for...

    Fermzilla Dry-hopping via PCO 1881 Ball Valve - Stuck Pellets

    Howdy Folks. In my ongoing efforts to reduce DO ingress I'm using a small plastic bottle and ball valve to hold the hop pellets atop my Fermzilla during fermentation, deploying them with a deft turn of the valve when it's time to dry-hop. That was the theory anyway - in practice those pellets...

    Threat of oxidation dry hopping during active fermentation/biotransformation?

    Has anyone had any issues with oxidation when dry hopping during active fermentation/high krausen? I'm less bothered about the biotransformational aspect of this, but more the lesser chance of oxidation, so am keen to give it a go. I don't have the ability on my FVs to purge the headspace with...

    Hi everyone, I've just finished my first all grain brew, which is a black ipa, and its in the fermenter. I was wondering after how long you add the dry hops and any recommendations for what to add?

    Hop Tea Advice

    I've looked through the existing hop tea posts and can't find the answers soooo.... I'm using my shiny new SS Conical fermenter and cold crashing seemingly isn't an option, it seems to retain the yeasts heat so well I could ferment outside! So to cut down on extra particulates and because it's...

    Afternoon all, I often get bored and was curious with regards to making a milk stout with a desert twist I use a generic milk stout recipe and i've seen online people add the bases of certain ingredients relative to what they're trying to achieve i.e. pecans, molasses etc... I own a SS...

    Head Retention

    Hi Guys I moved from extract to BIAB about 6 months ago and have been experimenting with different styles and variations to suit my taste and have recently tried dry hopping. The results have been very good so far, but I suspect head retention has suffered a bit more than I would prefer. I'm...
