Dry Hop Bags - Anyone got some?

#1 Post by cyburai » Tue Mar 20, 2007 7:11 am

I know, I've been told to use pantyhose, there isn't much demand for them here.

Other suggestions? I need to dry hop a couple of beers.

Are you dry hopping pellets or leaf? Primary, secondary or keg? I dry hop in the primary and secondary with pellets and just toss them in and wait for them to drop out with the yeast. Usually takes a week or so. In the keg I mostly use leaf hops and use one of those SS cylindrical screens on the end of the dip tube. Works great with leaf hops and they were about $8 or $9 at B & B (Northern Brewer has them, as well). If I use pellets in the keg, I use a SS tea ball.

Sorry if I got carried away with this answer - I just like to dry hop!

I have lots if you need them Sean. Do you have a hop weight? Usually a large marble, or piece of stainless steel works well. I have a Kevlar weight that I bought from HopTech about a decade ago-- it works like a charm. I need to see if they still sell them... I'd buy three more. Let me know, I can take them down to the store if you like, oh yeah, you already know the drill don't you.
