Murgy Straight

[Rodcx500z]

Hi help needed, i have a Murgy fermenting at the moment on day2, it's the cml kit, the recipe says dry hop 9 days here is a pic, does this mean dry hop for 9 days or day 9

Hi mate, dry hop goes in on day 5.

Cheers Andy, normal 3 days or 9, i can't wait to try this every time i open the fridge the smell is amazing

I can only tell you how I do it Rod, I haven't seen the CML instructions.
Should be broadly the same I think!

I dry hop day 5, then on day 10 add auxiliary finings and crash to 4C. Usually rack on day 14 but sometimes a bit early, sometimes a bit late :) Hops stay in until I dig them out of the tank with a shovel.

I get it now 5+9=14

Or sometimes 13 or 16 at my place.
Depends on the day job.
Precision brewing at its best.

Cheers Andy, thats how i will do it

And... There goes the conventional wisdom about not leaving the dry hops in for more than 3-4 days!

There is no wisdom at Four Priests, conventional or otherwise :)

I have learned this past year that conventional wisdom, common-known-fact, commonplace knowledge and common belief are very often nonsense. Your fermenter develops an immediate and incurable Victorian infection if you have a peep inside it and whatever you do.... OMG DON'T SQUEEZE YOUR BAG!

That's so funny Andy

Not sure its conventional wisdom...it seems to kick off WW3 every time someone states it

Depends if I'm in a rush to go to Tesco later. :)
