Primed with 100gm of golden syrup added dry hops in muslin bag, with the beer dispensing hose inside the bag with the hops so beer will be dispensed by flowing through the hops. I will feedback on how this works in terms of flow rate, hop flavour etc.
2/6/2024 4:18 PM 9 months ago	+77	Tasting Note			2/6/2024 4:18 PM 9 months ago	Serving through the hops in the barrel worked, but not perfectly. I had added weight to the hop bag, but insufficient to keep the dispensing tube at the bottom. As a consequence CO2 was dispensed with the beer, increasing the CO2 consumption. The hop flavour was enhanced by about 15%. I will try again with another brew in the future, this time using a heavier weight. Do not use hop pellets, as these come through even though the fine muslin.

Notes

Based loosely on a goose island IPA clone, but with lower target FG

Trying out a new method of dry hopping - adding the dry hops to the king keg pressure barrel in a muslin bag, the beer dispensing tube is inside the hop bag (with a further filter cover to prevent hop blockage / debris) to improve hop flavour.
