Too late to dry hop?

[valdid_shaw]

I made a lovely black IPA last year which perfectly blended the dark coffee-like malt taste with lots of summery hoppiness.
I’ve repeated the same brew a few weeks ago and the hop aroma is barely detectable. I think my mistake was overfilling stainless steel hop containers during dry hopping, in a vain attempt to improve clarity. Won’t do that again.
I’m now five weeks post brew - two in the fermenter and three improving in the pressurised corny keg. Is it too late to add some hoppiness? Could I feasibly de-gas the corny, pop a sanitised bag of something like citra, cascade or mosaic in there, re-gas and get that aroma back?

Yes, you can do that. And I was reading recently about agitation getting you almost all the dry hop effect in an hour.

Thank you - I’ve never previously agitated but maybe should try that. I think my issue this time was the overfilled hop baskets restricted the flow and movement of the hops, preventing proper absorption

I always double dry hop now. I’ll get once in the FV and once in the keg You will get no clarity issues dry hopping in the keg either, time and temp will clear it if you have no other underlying problems.

I came across a podcast last week advocating it also.

Is this advice for dry-hopping with leaf hops? I've given up on pellets for dry hopping as I've found that very often the beer doesn't clear (and I'm talking 2 months here)

I soley use pellets for everything at the moment. It seems to take 2 weeks to fully clear but perfectly fine after a few days.

I like dry hop haze.. I think as they drop clear they lose some flavour with it.
