Dry hop in keg or fermentor

[Morten]

I usually dry hop in both FV and in the keg.

A tea ball filled 1/3 with pellets will sink right to the bottom and infuse the beer with nice aromas.

I've had beer in my kegerator with dry hops for 4-5 weeks with no grassy aromas or other off flavours.

Perfect. I use the whole flower hops so it will float but that does not really matter I think. I dont believe either in the grassy flavors many people say. I want this IPA to be hopped to the maximum, so I have 60 grams inside the primary, I will discard in day 5, put other 60 grams for 5 more days, discard, keg and put more hops in the tea ball in keg (60grams) again. I hope it will taste and smell like a hop bomb. I am using simcoe, nelson sauvin in primary, and I will be using simcoe, bishop for secondary and nelson sauvin for keg!

You need a pretty big tea ball for that amount of hops.

What size do you have?

(I'd like to get bigger ones than the 3" I have)

[Mther]

It is a rice ball actually!!! Its 5 inches diameter....

Not sure if it would work with pellets...

[Morten]

Isn't that too big to fit through the opening of the keg?

[Mther]

!!!!!!!! What an idiot I am !!!!!! Hahahahaha
Well at least you thought about that, so I wont have any last minute surprises! Muslin bag then

[Mther]

Having another thought.... If I add a muslin bag without tie ing it at the bottom... Won't the pressure push it a bit down?

I don't think so.

As Morten said as well I dont think it will. The pressure will be equal in all directions so it will stay where it is (I hope my physics doesn't let me down!).
