Yesterday I decided to make Dogger Dan's "killer" beer. However I forgot to take the hops out of the fermenter.

So the hops can float around in the primary? How do you separate them when they break up from the liquid at bottling?

I've found they either sink or float so they haven't actually stayed in suspension.

Thank you all kindly for your advice, which, of course, I will follow. The hops are in a small cheese cloth sack. Since I'm using a white plastic fermenter, I can't see if they're floating or not.

So adding hops in this way would be for aroma? Is there a recommended weight or duration for lagers or pilsners?

Dry hopping lagers or pilseners isn't all that common. But don't let that stop you. Start with 12-15g & leave it for 5-7days

Thanks Chris. Out of interest, what would you normally dry hop then?
