Mix in my hops...??

[IrishH]

Hi folks! I hope you’re all safe and well! I am just about finishing up a clone of Omnipollo 4.21 and I dry hopped the other day. Now I’ve just had a peep and the 236g of pellets are all just sat on top of the raspberries that are in there...I’m afraid to mix it as It seems pointless just sat on top! Any recommendations of advice?
Thanks!

I would give that a very gentle stir with a sterilised spoon. You might add some sugar to generate more CO2.
Get everything on the top well into the wort and see if the pellets have broken up. If so, it should all be well.
No idea what an Omnipollo 4.21 is, but it sounds interesting.

When I dry hop, to avoid a mess and to keep the hops submerged, I'll put them in a nylon bag and add some pebbles of hematite to weigh it down.
Since you've dry hopped already, I'd just leave it be or if it's really bothering you take Slid's advice.

Thanks Slid, I’ll do that I think. Hoping it’ll turn out ok now!
4:21 is an ipa, load of raspberries and vanilla pods in the secondary, lactose in the boil and heavily dry hopped...I hope! Ha!

Sounds a bit of a beast but as Slid says stir very gently so as not to introduce oxygen till the hops have dissolved/broken up
