I got a hop rocket for christmas, and Im considering rigging it to use as a hop torpedo when I transfer from fermenter to keg. Thinking of packing it with hops, doing a long ans slow purge with co2 and then giving it a go

I've done that with whole hops, it works. I think I went back and forth between the 2 kegs 4 times.

Just did one ounce of whole leaf Cascade Hops, for 48 hours in my latest Ale (APA?). It did make an impact on the flavor. Not huge, best described as subtle hop flavor / aroma. Temp was 65 degrees. Hops removed, now crashing at 32 F. For those in Rio Linda, that means 0, or freezing.  ;D

Try dry hopping while or after cold crashing sometime.

I dry hop loose pellets at 50F for 3 days.  I recently brewed a NEIPA and dry hopped @ 10g/L and the aroma and flavor  was  fantastic.
