Yes. Chris at BertusBrewery has some fantastic information/recipes. It's a subtle tweak but for all intents and purposes pretty much the same. Firestone Walker gives a ton of information on their website as to exactly what grain and hops are used and they've even published their mash schedule (!), so it's pretty straight forward to figure out. I respect Chris's input/recipes a lot.

While following the dry hop schedule do you leave the fermentation temp at 70º after the first addition or do you cool it down?

I do it at room temp. Drop hopping takes longer at colder temps.

Just added my last hop addition. Smells great and looking forward to it. One observation that I noticed is that I filled the kegs a bit too much as each hop addition using keg dry hop containers like Kal mentioned, feel free to modify this for links, are really floating. Working quite well though.

Having my first pint of this. Fantastic flavor and hop hit, but nicely blended. Not too much though. It's been about a week on gas so needs some more time. My issue is that it is cloudy. I added gelatin but we will see

This was an excellent IPA. Certainly quite hoppy, but still quite a smooth finish.

Quick question. So I brewed this two weeks ago and have done the first dry hopping in the fermentor. I don't have a bright tank so can I just do the additional dry hoppings in the keg? I purchased the SS dry hopper so I will use that but just wanted to see where others have done it.

Also, do you carbonate during the additional dry hoppings or keep it off the gas? I'm afraid of introducing too much oxygen from opening and closing the keg lid to add the hops.

Last question is how strict are you on sanitation when adding the dry hops? Usually when i dry hop, I will have the exact ammount i need in the vacuum sealed pouch that i soak in star san for a few mins before I cut it open and add them. Now I have been purchasing larger hop quantities like you and freezing them, are you not afraid of contamination when adding additional dry hops to the fermentor/keg? Is the risk mostly negated by the fact there is not much sugar for any bad bacteria to fead on and that usually it is in a low oxygen high CO2 environment? Just want to make sure I am not missing anything and introducing additional risk of infection while i dry hop. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sure. You don't need anything officially called a 'bright tank' either - I will often use 5 gallon carboys. I prefer letting the hops float around instead of using SS dry hoppers (which I have also used) as I find the hops just clump up. I like to let them move freely and will give the carboy a swirl a few times/day.

You can, if you're dry hopping in the keg. Up to you.

You can always give hook up the gas and it a burp of CO2 after opening/closing by pull the pressure release valve.

I'm not at all. Nothing grows on hops. Nothing grows at 0'F in the freezer. The beer has alcohol so it's somewhat protected.

Nope. Not at all. I don't soak hop packages either. No harm in doing that however if it gives you piece of mind, but I think it's going overboard. Consider that commercial brewers just dump them in:





I'm sure they're not sanitizing those yellow buckets beforehand in any way.

Consider how hops like that are stored/dried:



Google "infection from dry hopping". LD/DR: It's not really possible. Hops are naturally anti microbial.

Good luck!

Great, thanks for the detailed response Kal. I bought the SS dry hopper so I guess I will give it a try and make sure I stir vigorously a few times a day. You also state not to use any gelatin to clarify, if I just dry hopped in the keg under co2 at 70f, the hops should drop out naturally and will be pulled off in the first few pints?

Most of the hops should stay inside the SS dry hopper so they'll come out when you pull it out. If some do fall out, they'll settle out like you mentioned. Cheers!
