Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has ever tried dry (or call it wet hopping..?) hopping with fresh hops after fermentation for extra flavour and aroma. I'm playing around with experimenting with this in a IPA this fall with fresh hops from a local farm. I'm of course a little hesitant about adding fresh plant material direct from a field into beer post fermentation and potential infection issues that could arise from dabbling on the cold side of things.
Anyone think this is a viable idea or is it batsh*t crazy so to speak..?
