My first 5 gallon batch is about ready for its dry hop addition and I wanted to get a feel for the methods used by others on this forum.
I have read many different ways to do it, such as use a muslin bag or even add the pellets directly to the fermenter and just let them naturally sink to the bottom.
A little background on what I have brewing. It is a West Coast IPA extract kit and the hop addition will be 1oz of Idaho 7 hop pellets. It has been in my conical fermenter for almost 2 weeks, and about 5 days ago I dumped the trub. So far I have hit all the SG marks, so fingers crossed this is a successful batch.
Currently I am looking at two options for my dry hop:
Thanks!

Currently I am looking at two options for my dry hop:
- Place the pellets inside of a brew bag/sock that has, of course, been sanitized in StarSan and then insert it into my fermenter through my 1.5" TC port
- Dump the pellets directly into my fermenter through the TC port and see what happens
Thanks!
