Good video. I don’t use bags for dry hopping but haven’t really gone over 60g. I once dry hopped in keg but tied weighted bag with dental floss so that it was suspended about halfway down. It worked well but not really something I like mucking around with.
How about using a big tea ball and a magnet, you can lower into the hops for several days then extract above the beer when you think they have been in there long enough?
just to clarify, the ''Hop ports'' you showed a fermzilla, and the outlined object is a yeast cake funnel... Please dont put dryhops inthere. youll ruin your beer
Yep, that method works perfectly well. Just keep in mind that for beers like NEIPA's, there are so many hops there is a risk you might clog the tap on your fermenter. Most other moderately hopped beer styles will be fine.
Hi Nigel, those tea holders perform much the same as a bag so no harm in using them. Weighing down with marbles is also a good trick. The only down side is that they can be small in size, constricting the hops. So if possible get as large a one as possible. Many home brew shops now sell "hop tubes" which can be a better option.
Cold hop tea, Steve Janish has written up about dry hopping cold.
Filter with strainer then use carbonation cap to fill into a keg.

Just brilliant presentation! Thank you!!!

Any rules on the amount of hops to use, or does it vary from recipe to recipe? Also; what about dry-hopping with hop pellets?
if you serve and store from fermenter, I’m using chubby, it’s best to remove hops after 2-4 days?
So is that 30 grams per cask (9 gallon) or is that for for a larger amount of beer? My beer is already in cask.

Is it a good idea to dry hop without hop sock, then cold crash for a few days to clear the beer before kegging?

Okay, yes. Thanks this does give me a lot of good information. :-D
What are your thoughts about adding hops into like a tea holding vessel and weighing down with glass (e.g. marbles)?
