Notes about dry hopping
There are three ways to add hops: early addition, late addition, and dry hopping. Early addition generally refers to the addition of hops in the initial or intermediate stage of boiling; late addition refers to the addition before the end of boiling or during the precipitation of the whirlpool; Dry Hopping, also known as hop dried, refers to add hops to the cooled wort or tender beer.
When dry hopping, we can choose hop leaves, hop pellets, or hop extracts. Dry hopping can occur during the main fermentation period, post-fermentation period or storage period. However, whether it is added to the fermenter or storage tank, hops should be added to the container before entering the tank.
First, centrifuge solid residue before filtering beer.
The high content of solid residue produced by the hop during the addition process needs to be centrifuged before filtration. Otherwise, it will greatly effect the service life of the membrane. In addition, the absorption of solid residues will cause loss of beer, and oxygen intake and related problems.
Secondly, no risk of contamination when adding hops during the cooling phase.
Many people are worried that adding hops during fermentation or post-storage will cause infection. We all know that hops have five major effects in beer brewing: adding bitterness to the beer, clarifying the wort, promoting the formation of foam, imparting aroma to the beer, and inhibiting the formation of bacteria. The efficacy of bacteriostatic means that the fear of infection is superfluous.
