How about using a big tea ball and a magnet, you can lower into the hops for several days then extract above the beer when you think they have been in there long enough?
Good video. I don’t use bags for dry hopping but haven’t really gone over 60g. I once dry hopped in keg but tied weighted bag with dental floss so that it was suspended about halfway down. It worked well but not really something I like mucking around with.
Yep, that method works perfectly well. Just keep in mind that for beers like NEIPA's, there are so many hops there is a risk you might clog the tap on your fermenter. Most other moderately hopped beer styles will be fine.
Hi Nigel, those tea holders perform much the same as a bag so no harm in using them. Weighing down with marbles is also a good trick. The only down side is that they can be small in size, constricting the hops. So if possible get as large a one as possible. Many home brew shops now sell "hop tubes" which can be a better option.
Cold hop tea, Steve Janish has written up about dry hopping cold.
Filter with strainer then use carbonation cap to fill into a keg.
Just brilliant presentation! Thank you!!!

Okay, yes. Thanks this does give me a lot of good information. :-D
Any rules on the amount of hops to use, or does it vary from recipe to recipe? Also; what about dry-hopping with hop pellets?
if you serve and store from fermenter, I’m using chubby, it’s best to remove hops after 2-4 days?
So is that 30 grams per cask (9 gallon) or is that for for a larger amount of beer? My beer is already in cask.
Is it a good idea to dry hop without hop sock, then cold crash for a few days to clear the beer before kegging?
Yep, that method works perfectly well. Just keep in mind that for beers like NEIPA's, there are so many hops there is a risk you might clog the tap on your fermenter. Most other moderately hopped beer styles will be fine.
What are your thoughts about adding hops into like a tea holding vessel and weighing down with glass (e.g. marbles)?
