Wow.
Thanks for putting me right.
Cheers!
Dry hopping contributes no bitterness.I could see doing a hop cone IF, and a strong IF you plan on drinking within a week. Any longer Im sure will make it taste like grass. and BITTER, whew!
You can use a french press as a homemade hop infuser. I read about a bar that lets you order a beer, pick out a hop and they put whole leaf hops in a french press, fill it with beer, and then let it sit for a few minutes. Then you press the hop cones down with the french press and pour off into a glass. I have been meaning to try it now that I have a french press dedicated to my brewing supplies.

Cold pressed, I assume?

Did you or anyone do it? How was it?Then use this awesome, hoppy sugar to prime your beers. So long as you don't boil the hops, you should get some nice aroma kicked in, with no added bitterness.
Or just use seperate pots. One for priming solution and other one for hop steeping. Mix them after they are finished.I was thinking boil water, steep hops (time to be determined) pull out hops, add sugar. Not sure if the hops would suck up a significant amount of sugar
