Hop rocket

[Coffeeuk]

Morning,

I've ordered a hop rocket as I don't currently dry hop and it's the one area I want to improve upon. I don't want to dry hop in the fermenter as I salvage the yeast for the next batch and the hops get mixed in.

My question. My plan was to use it when bottling from the keg using my beer gun and while transferring from the fermenter to the keg.

All the videos I've seen show it being used from the boil kettle to the fermenter. Is there a reason for this ? Or do you think my original plan will be ok ?

Cheers

Mick

Won't work. Reason is.....

To bottle carbonated beer from a gun you need low pressure. To get the beer through the rocket you need relatively high pressure.

Foam will occur.

Lots of foam.

Hadn't thought of that. So I'll have to use it between the fermenter and the keg and then carb up and bottle.

Yes thats what i do although i find that you can lose a bit of clarity to the beer so i tend to transfer to another vessel, add finings and then transfer to corny to force carbonate

I have reused yeast slurry containing pellets with no worries whatsoever. Resulting beer was fine. Id definitly do it again and probably will do v soon as i have a punk ipa clone on the go. Might be worth a go if youre not uncomfortable with the idea...
