Jeez, I don't want to lose this from the previous forum!



I was "talking" to this other homebrewer about dryhopping techniques and he said to look up the Firestone Walker guy.

So I'm posting a few links to articles:

credentials: After college Matt started working in the lab of the Kalamazoo Spice Extraction Company, and he was soon sent over to Chicago’s Siebel Institute, where he continued his education in organic chemistry.

(matt) described a process where the hops were introduced in the primary fermenter and allowed only a specific contact time before being racked off. He stated that the action of fermentation was needed to “scrub” some of the undesirable flavors from the hops and leave the fresh hop character that was desired.

As soon as the head of the primary fermentation starts to crash, this is the time to dry hop. (approx 3-4 into fermentation)

About twice a day, swirl the fermenter to mix up the hops and help submerge them.

After 3 full days, no more, no less, rack the beer into a secondary fermenter (or dump the trub)


Considerations from a different hop idustry slide:
Selection of best (new crop year) aroma varieties
–Blending hops for consistency and complexity

Yeast Activity
–Rousing with CO2 to help control DO and mix

Temperature Considerations (warm or cold?)
–Extraction better at elevated temperatures

Emphasis on low dissolved oxygen (DO)

Removal of yeast plug prior to dry hopping

Contact time
–Short contact time (3-4 days) vs. Long contact time (4-14days)

Sanitary technique


whirlpool: This allows the hops added at flameout a period to release their essential oils into the wort, while minimizing the vaporization of these essential oils.

Alpha acids will continue to isomerize after flameout until the temperature of the wort reaches about 175

For some reason, the old forum just quit working.  I tried my best to fix it, and it almost worked, but no such luck.

This is a new version of the old software, freshly installed.   And then customized a bit.   Let's see how this goes...
