He did say he was adding the hops.
Feeding the pellets through the air lock is probably a bit tedious....

Aaaaargh! Why do people open up an FV just to see how things are getting on?
EVERY time anyone opens up an FV they expose the brew to infection.
If anyone told me they kept exposing themselves to the passengers on passing busses I would advise them "STOP IT" ...
... and Ditto to opening up an FV before the time when you are expecting to bottle it!
I didn't. I opened the FV to put the hops in as per Instructions, this was 3 days later than the instructions requested.

Because kit instructions are ********."Aaaaargh! Why do people buy a Kit, then don't follow the Instructions recommended by the Manufacturer?"

well I bottled my American ipa today but whilst siphoning this to the bottling bucket it took quite a bit of the hop pieces with it. this then transferred to the bottles when i bottled. will these generally fall to the bottom of the bottle so that when i gently pour they won't end up in my pint? if not I'd there a way around it or do I need to use a hop bag the next time I use hops in a brew? still new to this and the first time I've used them.
A SS Pressure Barrel similar to a Corny Keg but 5 or 10 litres.
my Mrs when I get the brewing gear outSave me doing a search please Dutto, What's a Growler?
I have much to learn. Just over 2yrs into brewing. Are they like the 5ltr kegs you might get say Speckled Hen in from Tesco.A SS Pressure Barrel similar to a Corny Keg but 5 or 10 litres.

Hops in the bottle always end up in gushers for me. I'd really try and get the bottles cold before you open them.whilst siphoning this to the bottling bucket it took quite a bit of the hop pieces with it. this then transferred to the bottles when i bottled.
Thanks for that. I use the same as you other than the growler and at £100+a chuck I think it's going to remain that way.No. Usually, the ones from Tesco are usually referred to as Mini-Kegs or MK's.
However, Dark Farms are calling their 5 litre and 10 litre Growlers "Mini Kegs" for some reason ...

... but as they have a discount for Forum Members they can call them what they like!
Using their common names, the choices for storage are:
I have highlighted the ones that I use.
- Bottles (glass and PET) at 250ml. 330ml, 500ml and 650ml either capped or swing-top. (*)
- 5 litre Mini-Kegs (or MK;s). (**)
- 1 litre, 2 litre, 5 litre or 10 litre Growlers. (**)
- 10 litre or 25 litre Pressure Barrels. (**)
- 5 litre, 9 litre or 19 litre Cornelius Kegs. (***)
(*) These are usually pressurised by natural carbonation.
(**) These are normally naturally carbonated but use CO2 to assist the delivery and the larger ones can be force carbonated.
(***) These are normally force carbonated but occasionally are naturally carbonated as well.
Hope this helps, but please remember that this is not an exhaustive list!
