As others have said, if kegging I add the hop tea to the keg prior to racking the fermented beer on. If bottling I mix the hop tea with the priming sugar and again rack the fermented beer on to it (in the bottling bucket). If you individually prime your bottles I would add your hop tea to whatever your beer is in prior to bottling to avoid oxidisation.Does it taste the same as dry hopping?

You can open the lid and throw the hops in. There will be a blanket of co2. You could hook it up to the gas afterwards and purge it, if you wanted.how do you dry hop in a closed system? I was thinking of putting dry hops in a keg, purging it then closed transfer, to keg, then 3 days later rack again to another purged keg. But if a faff, so since I’ve gone to closed transfers I am actually dry hopping less.
I agree on the hop tolerance thing! I've had this when out on a bender...went into a pub which had a great selection.. Beavertown on draught was one,so I got talking beer with the bar man who started dishing up some samples..after the Beavertown I couldn't taste the next two.Wow! What a lot of replies. I’ve not been cooling before my flameout addition on my last few brews but after reading all the above thoughts I’ll cool to 80C next time.
Another thought. If you really want to taste your hops in a home brew, have a few days off from drinking or drink beers with few hops. When you come back to the home brew it’ll seem massively hoppy. Hop tolerance is a real thing.
You couldn't taste them as you missed your mouth.I
