I barely fit the first hop addition into my carboy. The hops kept bunching up inside the bag but I eventually made it work.
First dry hop addition 14 days. |
My second dry hop addition was even larger. Additionally when the shop was out of Citra hop pellets I had to buy two ounces of Citra hop leafs which take up even more room. The second time around I bought a larger muslin bag. A big enough bag to hold several pounds of steeping grain for an extract batch. I also put a couple of metal screwdriver bits into the bag to make sure the entire thing didn't float at the surface. The idea is to have as much of the hop material in contact with the beer as possible.
Again I had a heck of a time jamming that bag in there, but eventually it worked

I managed to squeeze all of this in there. |
Both bags are in the carboy. |
If beer is being pushed out of my carboy, I'd prefer it not be onto the floor. |
