I freeze my dry hops then use them as copper additions for stouts and porters where I'm usually only using a whole boil addition! Works a treat and saves some brass too! :D

I used Pellets for them. More than anything it is just a giant pain in the ass to clean a lot of dry hops out of the hop bags and get the marbles out too...

Although I saw pdtnc made a teaball syphon tube hop strainer. I am considering that as an idea.

One thing with the Pellets, this is one cloudy beer I assume because of the pellets in soloution or just the shed load of yeast pitched, I never crash chilled it which may have been an error. But it smelled and tasted great when I bottled it.

I am just trying this now, first bottle after 4 days....:oops:

Aroma is spectacular, really huge hops. Big mouthfeel, again massive massive hit of hops flavour wise, its still not fermented the priming sugar out so it will be less sweet but as of now its the best IIPA I have made I think.

Aroma wise its really brilliant, smells like a fresh bag of hops.

If it smells like you are putting your head in a freshly opened Farams Freshpak, it can't be far wrong ;)
