first of all..what is your definition of dry hopping? did you add
theseminutes before the end of the boil? if you added them after and chilled
it before the pellets were toalla moisten you might have probs. Whatever the
case, the best way i can think of to help this is get a 4" mesh fish net
from any petco or walmart pet dept. and skim off the floaters like you would
a swimming pool (only in miniture). Then continue as normal.
