  • ideas gentlemen please !!

    I have racked off some ale and dry hopped it.
    Next week I will syphon it into bottles and prime (not bottle bright)

    So I need to make sure the dry hop flowers don't end up in the bottles.

    I would prefer not to rack off again and then bottle - any ideas?

    Did you not use a hop bag?? can't see any way not to drop it into a bottling bucket with the priming sugar then bottle. Unless you can fit a filter on your FV, say an inline filter of some sort in your pipe that you use to fill the bottles with.

      Hop bag
      ..nah - after several trials I have found they inhibit utilization, so opted not to bother.

      But good answer - Inline filter = motorbike fuel filter.

        Result !!

        I made an in-line filter from a serviceable fuel filter ....

        Removed the bronze filter and inserted a small scrubber.

        Fitted syphon perfectly.

        Worked brilliant !!
