Subject: Dry hopping
I just racked a Sierra Nevada IPA clone into the secondary. It looks and
tastes fine except the hop flavor is less than I expected and would like. I
haven't dry hopped a beer in over 10 years and was wondering is anyone could
make suggestions on how to increase the hop flavor with minimal risk of
contamination. Things I'm considering include:
-dumping hops in a sanitized bag directly into the secondary for about 7-10
days
-finding hop oil or extract and adding it prior to bottling
-making a hop tea by boiling some pellets in either water of wort and adding
it prior to bottling. I need to figure out how much and how long to boil.
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I figure I'll leave it in
the secondary for about 10 days from now (29 March).
Thanks,
Tom Puskar
