I've done a few dip-hop experiments and it always gives a better hop profile IMO. None of the earthy, green, musty/dank, peppery character from using a lot of T-90s, and better expression of flavors you want (citrus, tropical, etc.). I think it gives dry-hopped beers a more refined character from the fermentation blowing off volatile (and unwanted) hop compounds. Thanks for sharing. Dip-hopping should be a thang IMO!
We'll see. My wife wanted to be near the grandchildren and I'm retired now, so why not give it a go. There's a 240 plug in the garage of the new house. Maybe I'll finally get to put together that all electric HERMS system I've always wanted which wasn't an option at the Mississippi house.
Loved it Gary!! I tried the dip hopping on my last NEIPA. I used the Trident hops we got form hopsteiner. Didn’t have the aroma I was hoping for but that might be from the hops. I’ve never used them before so I’m not sure what I was gonna get. Thanks for the video. Sláinte
@@chubbymermaidbrewing appreciate that. Maybe this will be my next brew. Just looked last night. I have a ton of hops that I need to start to use up. Sláinte
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm on a losing streak right now with the batches of beer I'm making. I've had to dump some batches batches of beer so far. Think I figured out the problem. Cheers!
Great videos -thanks--Question , On last niepa video u said only dry hop end ferment, to avoid wort sitting on hops during ferment. Why is this method ok ? & doesnt it mean that u can dry hop during ferment?
Yeah that is a good question however I never said don't dry hop at high krausen ever just in that recipe, I said play with biofermentation with hops to see what happens and if you get a good combination stick with it, put it in your toolbox as they are rare. Now to the question, dipped is already extracting before fermentation much like the whirlpool. That is different than dry hopping at high krausen. For the science on that, well no one has that answer yet. Cheers
@@joemam12 no that is why you put the water in at 170f that pasturizes and issues with the hops, however hops are typically an inhospitable environment for critters.
What temp did you dip hop at? I've seen others do it at 80°c. I only ask because I believe they don't recommend any temps over 50°c in the fermzilla as it can melt the plastic.
you don't fill the entire fermzilla at 80C only about 1 liter so its sits at the bottom where the plastic is more dense. I have been doing this without issue many times.
