trouble with hops

Post by malebo » Wed May 24, 2017 8:10 pm

Hi folks, I'm new to this forum. Looking for some help or advice. I've added hops to a two can festival golden summer ale kit. After 7 days the hops are floating around the top of the bucket and it looks none too healthy. Any way to rescue this?

Welcome Malebo. :)

I'm going to move this post into the Hops forum as you're more likely to get replies there. I would have expected them to sink by now, but I don't do a lot of dry hopping myself so let's see what others think.

I have just bottled/kegged a Festival Landlord's bitter and the dry hops were floating on the top. The little bag they supplied to fit over the siphon tube worked better than expected. :D
Not done a kit for ages, hoping it turns out well.
