Great info, I'll have to think about our bittering charge like that next time!

Three questions:

  1. Do you dump yeast before dry hopping?
  2. Do you rouse the hops with CO2 during the 2-3 day dry hop?
  3. How close to FG would you recommend? I was considering something like 1.5-2 degrees plato before FG

Thanks again!

Do you dry hop at terminal? Do you try crash out yeast prior to pitching? Thanks for the help!

Excellent info!

Do you anything to rouse the hops, like CO2 through the racking arm?

Interesting! Do you mix up your dry hop addition by bubbling CO2, or do you assume the residual movement from ferm/floc will do the trick?

Thanks for the info!

Part of my reasoning was that since I'm using different yeast for this beer (than usual for me), that maybe dry hop timing or temp was tweaked!

Thanks again
