Cryo Hops for Dry Hopping
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2021 12:58 pm
Anyone have experience with this? I’ve avoided dry hopping in the past due to too many batches with an overly vegetal flavour. Seems these will reduce that risk.

Thanks Matt, I’ll give them a try. Would 1oz. in a corny keg for 4 days be a good start?matt7215 wrote:you can def dry hop with cryodale cannon wrote:Anyone have experience with this?

how long are you leaving your beer on the hops when dry hopping?
yeah that small amount of hops and quick contact time should lead to no vegetal flavours in your beer, also, if you are just using an ounce im assuming you are just gonna open a 1 oz pack from a commercial packed product so the hops should be in good shape. dry hopping with hops that have been opened and then sitting around awhile is a potential for what you were previously experiencingdale cannon wrote:Thanks Matt, I’ll give them a try.

I haven’t brewed in a decade or so, but I recall trying for shorter and shorter durations with similar results (grassy, vegetal flavour that persisted). It could have been hop freshness, poor technique leading to oxidation, or otherwise. I’m now fermenting in a temp controlled unitank and doing pressurized transfers etc so hopefully I see better results.
cant go wrong with citra or simcoe imodale cannon wrote:That’s it yes, 1oz each of cryo simcoe, citra and centennial individual packs from yakima valley. Just need to decide which to use.
