hi all,
was interested in lightly dry hopping a german pilsner i have in primary with the same hallertauer hops i used in the boil.
i only want to add a little of those spicy, grassy hop notes to the final beer but don't want to ruin 55l (14.5 us gal) :)
has anyone tried this before and if so what were the results ? and what would be a suitable amount of hop pellets to add ?
cheers !

I've dry hopped pilsners in the past and been happy with it. .25oz per gallon is what i used at high krausen.

trashes the clarity, unless you plan on filtering. could probably clear with gelatin too i suppose.

another alternative would be to dry hop in the keg (assuming you're using cornies or 1/6's) lots of neat SS mesh methods for dry hopping in kegs, i like the ones that hang from the lid (https://www.homebrewing.org/400-Micron-Hop-Filter-with-Lid-Chain_p_7113.html)
