hello Youtube today I'm going to show
you a little bit on dry hopping this is
also in addition to the steeping
grains video that I did which has the
recipe pack which you can buy online and
it has everything for adding steeped
grains to a beer kit and then also a
dry hop addition in the form of one of
these seller supplies tea bags there are
different ways of adding dry
additions to your beer now with dry
hopping it won't impart any bitterness
because the hops have to be boiled to do
that but it will impart flavor and aroma
and the quantity used is entirely
dependent on you really and you can have
a bit of an experiment with it with this
one I'm going to be adding 40 grams in
the form of the teabags that I have
actually in here
so with these celler supplies you pop
the teabags or tea bag whether you've
got one or two or however many pop the
teabags in the jug cover with boiling
water and then leave for 10 minutes now
that's the method with those however
some people prefer to just put the hop
pellets straight in to the brew or leaf
hops depending on what you're using just
so that they're fully immersed in it and
you're getting the flavors from it however it's up for a bit of debate as to
whether that's the best method putting
them in loose or putting them in a tea
bag you can do either and either one is
fine and you'll probably find which one
you prefer over time as you dry
different beers with this method today
I'm going to siphon the beer from the
primary vessel to the secondary vessel
it's finished fermenting I've taken a
hydrometer reading with the Tilt which is
bopping around in there and it's 1.010 and it has been for
a few days so I'm fine to go ahead and
transfer it the reason why I'm adding
the dry hops in this fermenter is so
that fermentation doesn't interfere with
the flavor of the hops adding the hops
three days a few days before the end of
fermentation can limit the impact the
hops have on the beer because as it's
fermenting the flavor compounds and
aromas are taken away with the co2 and
it's lost most brewers do prefer to add
them in a secondary vessel so that the
fermentation has stopped you pop the
hops in there for three to five days and
it gets all the hop flavor and aroma in
there however you can do it in the
primary vessel three to two days before
the end of the ferment that's fine as
well
again it's personal preference but some
do believe that you lose that flavor in
the primary vessel again though it's
entirely up to you it's your brew I've got the auto
siphon here that I'm using to transfer the
brew over just one pump and it's
done that will now transfer then I'll
add the hops add the hops after ten
minutes in here they go a little mushy
inside the tea bag there we go and you
also put that liquid in there as well
straight in
so I just kind of don't want them
causing too much of a splash now
I'm going to leave that I'll probably
leave it for three days in this case lid
on I'll pop an airlock in there
off-camera after three days I'll just go
ahead and bottle it the advantage with
putting them in a tea bag as opposed to
putting them in loose is that they're
contained so if they were loose in there
when I came to bottle or transfer to a
keg and just put a Muslin bag on the
end of my syphon or little bottler or
whatever I was using to catch any hop
detritus as it were going through it's
not detrimental though if something does
go through then I'll leave it in the
bottle for probably about a month just
to mature at that point it will be
lovely to drink and the longer it's left
to mature the better it tastes so if you can
give it two months to mature any beer kit the you know they do get better I
