Keg Hopping with Pellets

[BDawg]

I dry hopped pellets in the corny once. Just once.

Unfortunately, you will still be getting the floaties up into the poppets and and shit, even with gelatin, panty hose and every other gimmick you can think of.

Your best bet is to re-rack after waiting a few weeks, using a short dip tube (yes, the gelatin will not hurt).

Sorry to break the bad news.

BDawg - so you think....hit it with gelatin and give it a week or two then jumper it to a new keg? You think I need to fish out the EKG pellet bag?

Good by me, what are the cliff notes on using gelatin? Regular unflavored is fine I assume. What temp for water and how much water/gelatin.

Thnx...hate to rack to a new keg, but I'll just keg-hop it with some Tettnang leaf I have in a new keg.

Al Clear! Patience was the key, I've now poured at least 6 clear pints off the Chiswick Bitters. I think this one will make it. No more pellets in the keg for me.

hey to dry hop with pellets why not get one of these and if you know you are going to dry hop that keg slip it on the diptube

[TimmyR]

Good call Henning. I'll buy one. I assume it would not clog up or anything. So far my Chiswick Bitters are pouring nice and clear....pellets are in a hop bag in the keg.

Thanks.

I just used one of the faucet supply braids pinched it and slipped it over the end of the dip tube. Yeah, you heard me...pinched it and slipped it over the dip tube.

Nice.
