Hi Fellas,
I've been doing some experimenting with hops and small batches.
What I've come to like is;
1 can Coopers green and 200 gms dextrose in 14 litres of water (this gives me a nice bitterness) and dry hopping toward the end of ferment.
What I'm considering is just fermenting out and popping a pellet or two in when bottling. I've dry hopped straight into the fermenter loose, and whilst l got a lot of green stuff in the bottle, it didn't worry me as it all sits on the bottom with the yeast when l pour.
My theory is I'll keep all the hoppy stuff in the bottle.
So, is this a good idea? And.
How many hop pellets to a Grolsch bottle? I've read that 2g per litre is a good dry hop schedule. What does a hop pellet weigh? (my scales are kitchen and not really good down to single grams)
Thanks.
