I have an IPL about to finish up and about to transfer to corny for conditioning. I was assuming I would dry hop it, but that could mean leaving hops in there for a potentially long time, not ideal.
Making a hop tea and putting that into the corny before racking on top would reduce oxygen and means I could serve directly from that one when ready.
My question really is, how effective would this be? Would I need a higher or lower charge of hops if I went with a steep for 1/2 hour at 80C? Have I missed something?
I should point out I ferment in a corny as well, so dry hopping in the primary would undo all of the oxygen reduction care I have put in place.
