I just throw them in. I have used a bag a couple of times but the hops are confined even when you weigh it down.
Mine go straight to the drain.I’m interested to know peoples thoughts on whether to rack of into a secondary fermentor as I would usually do, or as I’ve seen elsewhere regarding NEIPAs, go straight to the keg from the primary fermentation.
Thanks for all the advise by the way.
I go from primary straight to keg. I have never racked anything to a secondary to be honest.I’m interested to know peoples thoughts on whether to rack of into a secondary fermentor as I would usually do, or as I’ve seen elsewhere regarding NEIPAs, go straight to the keg from the primary fermentation.

Now Nosy, we non-lager people don't dis your light fizzies... no need to take pot shots at our juicy hazies...Mine go straight to the drain.
That was a bit snarky of me...Now Nosy, we non-lager people don't dis your light fizzies... no need to take pot shots at our juicy hazies...
I sensed it was tongue in cheek comment, my response was intended the same way ud,no worries.That was a bit snarky of me...
Well it sure looks like it is to style!Well here it is, I thought at one point it was destined for the drain but for my 1st attempt I pleased.View attachment 10993
It certainly has the right body and feel in the mouth, and definitely hints of tropical fruit. There is some citrus aroma in the aroma ( I ended up mainly using Azecca and some Citra). The yeast I used was reported to take out some of esters and I think I will change the yeast next time and my brewing efficiency is still low so probably need to sort water chemistry ( more lactic acid).Well it sure looks like it is to style!
How does it taste, how is the aroma?
It would, but your mash pH would have to be extremely low or extremely high. I get the same thing - my tap water goes wonky in the summer. Sigh, curse, adjust the pH in the mash tun and go on. Or use RO water from the supermarket. Or save up and buy a RO filter. If I were looking to correct low efficiency, I'd look at a lot of factors before looking at the water.So ,are you thinking that mash pH affected your conversion?
I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on if that could be the case or not.
