Hi folks!
I'm just wondering if anyone has any guidelines or experiences they'd like to share regarding biotransformation dry hop additions? I've done it with NEIPAs but not any other style. There appear to be lots of studies on the process, but it's a lot of data-sifting to decide what the science means in terms of your average homebrewer indulging their hobby.
So my question is, what are your real-world experiences, recommendations, hidden tricks or cautions regarding this process?
My one concern is that with dry-hopping at high krausen, and the recommendation to not let the hops sit too many days on the yeast, I may not have sophisticated enough gear to effectively use biotransformation. (I'm not fishing for reasons to upgrade my kit. I've already got enough cleaning to do on brew day!)
I've been through the following (at least in a cursory fashion):.

https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/blo...-understanding-hop-compound-biotransformation

I'm looking forward to any advice on this topic.
Cheers,
Tom
