I am thinking of dry-hopping my next brew. I have not done this since Bush II was in office, so I remember nearly nothing, and also, technology changes. I was using plastic buckets followed by unnecessary glass carboys, and oxygen went everywhere.
I'm reading up, and everyone seems to have a different way of doing it, and people like to say other people's ways are stupid. Big surprise, because everyone knows homebrewers always agree about everything. I would like to cut to the chase.
Based on what I'm seeing, I'm thinking of getting silicone-coated magnets, using them to stick a bag to the lid of my fermenting keg (Torpedo), and pulling the top magnet off once I hit FG. This is more or less what the Homebrew4Life guy says to do.
Will this get it done?
I like fermenting a little warm, under pressure, and I am committed to O2-free transfers.
Also, I'm considering dry-hopping my orange Crystal-and-Nugget lager the next time I brew it. Talk me out of it.
