dry hoping

[Phu Quoc Brewerie]

hello guys ,
let get your advice and recommendation's on the dry hoping method i ve choosed....
after few miss in dry hoping ... i decide to find a way to secure this method
so after watching everything i found a bit everywhere
i decide to go on dry hoping using food grade magnet , tea bag, and fix hop on my lid ( i use plastic fermenter 50 liters and some 30 liters) just when closing for fermentation after pouring the yeast.

i still didn't try , waiting to receive magnets and bag.

please , if you do it or tried it .... if you have better idea or have an opinion..... i listening carefully ....

again i m in a hot weather 32 degrees , humidity between 85 to 130%...... i mean really easy for all kind of infections, bacteria ...(if you cut yourself even really little , get infected really fast)... so minimize the contact and opening is my main target.... and i ferment at ambient temperature 32 degrees...(voss kveik)

thanks all for your support , i started all this brewing activity with you 2 months ago and because of this application and the community, my learning curve is incredible.

That method works really well. Timing is the important part with dry hopping. If you are just wanting the aroma and bright flavor, then dry hop for 2-3 days before packaging.

Oxygen is also important. Exposure to oxygen will kill the effects of dry hopping in a week

Good to read this, cool .
Is that a problem to incorporé dry hop if there is still fermentation activity?
It seem to be ok...
Fermentation time is 3 days, I plan to release hop , end of day 2, slow fermentation. Keg day 5. ???
Thanks again, really motivate to integrate this dry hop ...
If not I can wait until day 6, but already 3 more days. like the oldest say, when it s ready, then it s ready

What kinda of yeast are you using? I can't imagine ever being done fermenting in 5 days. Even if active fermentation is done, yeast needs time to clean up the mess.

As for the dry hop part, you can dry hop on day one. You will get different flavors doing it during fermentation than after.

Also consider how large a hop charge you are going to dry hop. Hop creep is not always your friend and you may have to plan for it

ah ah, i m using voss kveik (harvested most of the time), 70 g for 22 liters and 150 g for 44 liters.....
thanks for information on dry hop from the first day , i need to make some try....

about the quantity, i was thinking to start with 40g for 22l, and 80 g for 44 liters....what do you think?

thanks so much for your support.

 

[Phu Quoc Brewerie]

ok so after looking a bit everywhere , it seem to be that it should stay between 4g to 8g by liter of beer
so can i say ...4 g will be a pale ale , 6 g a wcipa and 8g a neipa.....???

 

[Donoroto]

You could say that, but it also depends on which hops. And style is affected by yeast and other conditions. But yes, a pale ale has less aroma hops than a neipa in general.

Amount greatly depends on the varietal of the hop and what you want. Are you looking for a very hoppy bright beer or just some aroma on the nose from an amber. Hell, i have dry hopped stouts too

 

[BarbarianBrewer]

My only advice on dry hopping with magnets is multiple smaller bags are better than on big bag. I tried to dry hop 5 oz (141 g) with a fairly strong magnet. Sometime during the first night the magnet let loose and dropped all the hops in somewhere between 3 to 10 hours after pitching The hops (El Dorado & Bru-1) obviously did not contribute the expected aroma I had hope for. Your dry hop weights are less and I don't know the strength of your magnets. So, you probably won't have the same problem. Just something to be aware of.

Hmmmm, I think now I will start to dry hop in different way with same recipe... Let see the result...following the rule of 4 to 8 g/ liter and play on the timing too....ok I need a couple of month I think to really understand.....thanks again

For sure I will keep this in mind. And double the magnet I think....let see

I would have to think the hops will pull up moisture as it sits in the fermenter waiting to be dropped. Getting heavier before it is dropped. Smaller bags sounds good.
