Hit all my numbers, but might need to add another .25 - .5 gallons when using hoprocket, due to hop asbortion. Hoprocket worked much better with whole cones. I could noticeably see more hop oils in the wort.

Unfortunately, it clogged the keg post and had to discontinue. Hoprocket so far has only been effective with whole hops.
4/2/2021 3:53 PM over 3 years ago	+7	Dry Hopped					7/13/2021 5:22 PM over 2 years ago	1.5 oz Cascade (7 AA)(Leaf/Whole) for 4 days 1.5 oz Zeus (Leaf/Whole) for 4 days 1 oz Simcoe (12.7 AA) (Pellet) for 4 days .3 oz of both hops cones added with 1 oz of Simcoe to hop spider rest went into hoprocket. Trying to recirculated for about 60 mins each day for 4 days. Needed to feed in Co2 while trying to circulate. The system was creating a vacuum.

Notes

Trying to use the Hoprocket one more time with leaf hops to see if I have better luck. Not impressed so far with pellet hops and rice hulls. Maybe running it backwards like David Heath will actually make it more effective for pellets.

The number of people who really liked this one surprised me.
