I tried an experiment last week and :beerbang: it works a treat.
I brewed an ale which turned out a little bland. Not enought hops for my liking but I kegged it anyway thinking it would taste ok when carbonated. Alas it was still bland with fizz so I had a few more and decided to dry hop in the keg.
I got 15g of sazz hops and tied them in a sterile stocking leg and tied a piece of fishing line ( about 30cm long ) onto a cork and onto the stocking leg.( I wanted it to float so I could fish it out if I need to ) then depressurised the keg, opened the hatch , dropped the hops in and resealed the hatch and wound the gas up to serving pressure.
I left it for 2 days then tried it.
:beer: Yep it worked well and it tastes like a reasonable pilsner. Not award winning stuff mind you but still much more drinkable.
Has anyone else tried this ?
Cheers
