As Nate said "drop the yeast before dry hop" he means cold crash before dry hop. What might have happened is when you dry hopped the oils might have stuck to the yeast and then when you cold crashed the yeast dragged all the hop oils down, acting like a fining agent. So if you cold crash for a couple of days before dry hopping it can prevent that.
that's not really what happens, but I get what you are saying. That tight muslin bag is not the way to go. That volume of hops needed 3 bags. Better to spread them out and you also need to account for hop creep with large dry hop additions. You can do that by letting it referment (just give it time), but better to add a little ALDC which halts the enzymatic reaction that makes your beer re-ferment when adding dry hop addition. If you don't do one of the 2, you will get deacetyl in your beer. Bottom line is keg fermenting really limits what you can do when it comes to hazy IPA, but you can still turn out good beer. Pro brewers have the benefit of conical unitanks...game changer really. You can drop out all the old hops and trub. I have 2 now (Christmas sale plus old model clearance...you can find good deals)
Congrats on 1K! I’m getting ready to make this one too. I bet it’s been a popular brew lately. I’m planning to pressure transfer off the yeast and onto the loose hops in hopes of getting all those good flavors and aromas. Cheers 🍻
Thank you for the support. If you haven’t brewed it yet I have seen others mention adding ascorbic acid to the mash it helps with the shelf life of hop flavors. I personally haven’t tried it but will next time. Cheers!
I think the muslin bag is a bit too small. I bet like you said that the contact after they swelled did not add much. Using a bigger bag next time might help. Keep up the great work and congrats on 1K.
I think next time I am going to add the dry hops to a second purged keg and transfer the beer from the fermenter to get it off the yeast/trubb and then transfer again into a third keg for serving. Also I have looked at these hop tube as an alternative to a muslin bag. Thanks for the support! Cheers 🍻
Hi, i find your channel right now😅 quick tip: you put way too much hops in your hopbag! Next time, split the hops in 2 bags, you get way better results! Greetz from germany!😊🍻
Thanks for the tip! Also I think next time I would transfer it to a clean keg after dropping the yeast out of solution and dry hop in the second keg as I some people say as the yeast drops out it can bring the hop oils with it. Definitely room for improvement but a good starting point. Prost 🍻

I will try that next time I dry hop a beer, thanks for the tip!

@@RecipeswithBen Yes, I had already planned to add it to the mash and keg.
@@brewingbadTN Awesome! Let me know how it turns out.
nate says to do 15 g/l not 5 g/l. I'm increasing my hopping rate to 20 g/l going forward
Let me know how it turns out!
when youtubers color correct their video to make a beer look better we can tell. just a heads up
In full transparency this was the first video I ever tried color correcting and may have over shot the intended color
