The hop sock method has its pros and cons. The pros being keeping hops out of the hop filter on the tap and the cons being the cost and availability of the socks and the bugger job of extracting them from the cask.<br /><br />Another point is that the over-hopping in the cask tips off the balance of the beer and ups the cost to the brewery. I tasted little benefit from the 100g in the firkin over the 50g. And the 150g was silly. In my opinion. On keg at a lower service temperature there would probably be some benefit, as the taste-buds are already numb.Brewers Union Local 180https://www.blogger.com/profile/05786517873195170945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482997172093477767.post-54076380455313209212010-08-11T02:24:33.342-07:002010-08-11T02:24:33.342-07:00Can you dry hop in a bag, in the cask?
