Hi Clint.  In my experience dry-hopping adds flavour and aroma but is a bit of a compromise between the two.


A hopstand will give you more flavour but you don’t get as much aroma from it.  Keg hopping gives you more aroma than dry-hopping in the fermenter.


If you use 80% of your dry hop addition in a hopstand and the other 20% in the keg you might get the best result?


I use leaf hops in the keg held in a hop spider suspended from the lug on the keg cap.  This it to avoid hop debris blocking the poppets.  Other people are happy to use pellets.
