Plug Hops...

Mar 06, 2005 1 Replies

Tomorrow I'll be starting my second try at an IPA. The first one I made I dry hopped whole hops in the secondary. Has anybody ever used hop plugs to dry hop? Will they "expand" or will I have to "break" them up a bit? Thanks!


No need to break them up. I put them in the carboy then rack to the carboy - works OK they absorb wort and disintegrate in no time. Primary works well too - but they will plug the blow off tube and blow the tube off.
