Hi Guys

A question for any AG Brewers that dry hop, can you use hop pellets to dry hop in the fermenter?

I've only used dry leaf hops in the past but Citra in leaf form is hard to get hold of at the moment, all I have is a 50gr bag of pellets.

Absolutely.

You just might have a cloudy beer as they dissolve, nothing a good cold crash and time won't fix. I use pellets to dry hop all the time.

Diverch

I dry hop with pellets a lot.
As said 2 or 3 days in the fridge
and all is clear

Cheers guys, at what stage do you normally add them, I brewed yesterday and I was going to add them tomorrow, or would you wait a little longer?

I only dry hop my kits, as I am building
my brew shed, when built will buy a
Grainfather. Having said that about 5
days B4 bottling or kegging.Then as per
3 weeks warm etc. But it does make the
world of difference to taste.

I leave mine at least a week, normally 2, I then rack off and dry hop for 5days before cold crashing and keging .

I'm never in a rush with my beer, I like to give the yeast lots of time for the yeast to clean up after itself.

I can relate to your situation gaz. Just finished mine and operating. Loving it.
Follow a very similar regime as you.

After primary fermentation (first week) has completed, as the yeast burns off the best of the flavour. Another week then rack off and fridge for 2 weeks.

Brilliant results.

Yes Packapoo I cant buy and use one of them in the
kitchen as well, there would be war.
