So still fairly new to kegging, and the last batch I kegged still had a lot of dry hop material in suspension when I transfered. Still less than a week under pressure, but a little concerned about the amount of materials I see in the glass. I'm going to asssume this is one of those "leave it alone and it will clear up in time" situations. Right? Right? I hope.
Could/Should I lower the temp to help drop the materials ? Or not since I want to force that shit out anyway>?

Re: Hop material in suspension
Will clear out after a few days and a few pints. Happens to me on my really hoppy beers.dean2k wrote:So still fairly new to kegging, and the last batch I kegged still had a lot of dry hop material in suspension when I transfered.

Re: Hop material in suspension
I usually go through a few glasses before the dry hops stop following, this is after a couple weeks in keg so the stuff has all settled
Also when you are done with the keg I find it is worth it to disassemble the posts - the hops get all caught up in the spring thingy
