Dry Hopping

RobinB · Oct 11, 2019

Help please .. I dry hop after fermentation for approx 2 days or so ?? Do I add the dry hops to the barrel before the secondary ferment ... before I add extra sugar ?? Or after 2 days ,do I add the sugar and then remove the dry hops ??

You can dry hop either during or after fermentation, but usually this is done before packaging the beer, but its also not unheard of to add hops to packaged beer too. It all depends on your recipe and personal preference.

I...
Let fermentation do it's thing. Check fg after two weeks. If stable over a couple of days,is where expected and not stalled. I then dry hop for around four days.
Afterwards I Syphon into bottling bucket with required, dissolved amount of sugar then bottle.
If kegging,in plastic pb,I add 90g of sugar to keg and Syphon straight in.
