Understanding & Managing Hop Creep

All those dry-hopped IPAs and Pilsners you brew also can come with a hidden challenge: hop creep.  Hop creep from dry hopping can result in a surprise second fermentation lowering gravity while boosting diacetyl, alcohol, and carbonation. So how do you plan and manage the reality that hop creep can impact your dry-hopped beers? We’ve got hop expert Dr. Pattie Aron to walk you through not only understanding hop creep, but also strategies to manage it in your brewing dry-hopped beers.
