Reevaluating Dry Hop Techniques
Dry hopping at 35 degrees? Much like the info we're getting about Covid 19 and how you read one thing one day and maybe almost the opposite the next day, this has me scratching my head.
I first hear about it on the Beersmith podcast and I guess I have to try it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpV_pwbCGiI
If this is true, it sort of conflicts with some of the info in Scott Janish's book about dry hopping temps. Scott does mention cooler temperatures work better but I'm pretty sure 35 degrees wasn't mentioned. This could speed up grain to glass even faster. Add Kveik yeast and you can go from dropping the yeast to keg in 4-5 days depending on how fast you can cold crash.
