Not trying to deliberately shoot everything down but i don't follow this either...treefiddy said:That might be more to do with economy of scale.
Those who bottle cannot really get clear beer before they dry hop.
On homebrew scales we're also talking a few grams of hops. Scale those few grams up to commercial quantities and then it becomes an issue.
Before i went to kegs, i typically got very clear beer before and after dry hopping. Not sure what dry hopping beer has to do with the packaging method?
RE: scaling up for commercial quantities....what difference does that make? Sure they are using hops by the several kilo load, but they are also putting them into wort "roughly" relative to the same ratio. Sure, it won't be an exact linear relationship between hopping rates from a commercial vs homebrew point of view, but close to enough to shoot holes through that statement i'd have thought.
If our hopping rates vary so drastically from commercial usage, then we'd have vastly different beer. More wort, more hops...
