Hey guys,
On Thursday night I chucked in 27gms of Hersbrucker hops into my FV- straight in and no bag.
Quick background:
Mangrove Jacks Pilsner 2.2kg
1kg Dextrose
400gms dry wheat malt
That has been fermenting for 7 days before I added the dry pellets.
A couple of questions:
1) It's now settled around the top of the beer, some of it fell down and is now in the gunk at the bottom- will the rest of it settle and do I bottle only when that has happened?
2) Or have I fudged it up by dry hopping without a bag?
3) Also, and last one, it smells very hoppy- taste is also starting to get there, but I hope it won't overpower. Do hoppy aromas and flavours subside when conditioning?
Thanks!
