I thought I'd start a post and get a little feed back with regards to dry hopping.
I've tried lately not using a hop bag in the carboy at all and just for lack of better terms "free hopping". Where I just let the hops float around freely and then filter them out at kegging time. This seems to be the best technique I've tried.
Attached you'll see a picture of the set up without any beer in the carboy of course. What I'm using is a carboy "cap" with a racking cane in one hole and an aquarium pump with a filter on the other to pressurize the empty space in the carboy forcing the beer up through the racking cane into the keg. But on the bottom of the racking cane I made kind of a SS wire basket with a hop sock attached. The result is beer completely free of hop debris and I can dry hop for as long as I see fit to. Without waiting a week or more for the hops to sink to the bottom.
I was listening to a pod cast where Jamil said he gets best results just adding hops directly to the keg without a bag and just deals with the odd hop particle. He just calls it roughage.
I'm not too keen on roughage in my beer so I thought I'd give this a try and results seem great so far.
What techniques do you guys use?
