Kegging after Dry Hopping

[Dosfairways]

I’ve just finished kegging 2 Young’s American IPA kits. Absolute nightmare!

I dropped the hops in 2 days ago and they dispersed as they should. However, the brew was like a green porridge this afternoon and it took me ages siphoning it into the barrels through the muslin bag as it was clogging up every litre or less.

I know I could have bagged up the hops before dropping them in, but I’ve read that you don’t get the full benefit from them if you do.

Anyone found a solution to this problem??

Stainless mesh containers and a bouncer filter.

Cold crash for a day or two until all the hops drop to the bottom. I also tie the hop sock over the ball float and outline of my pressure fermenter for good measure but doesn't work on its own without the cold crash.

possibly aroma hop terpenes may be a sub for dry hopping.

i am experimenting with these now
