Adding hops to the beer. Interestingly, dry hopping is all about surface area. For that reason, pellet hops are without a doubt better at exacting more hop oils than whole cone. The flavor differences therein are largely subjective, but I fall into the 'pellets are better for hop aroma and flavor' school of thinking. Anyways, while just dumping your hop pellets into beer for dry hopping works fine, there are other ways to go about it. Powderize the pellets before adding them. Make a hop slurry. Agitation, recirculation, temperature control, ect... all have their benefits and some are better than others. For instance, if I want a really intense hop aroma, I will sometimes take pellets, crush them and then make a hop slurry with the beer that I am transferring. This is then added to the secondary and left for 3-5 days, with occasional gentle rousing, before the whole lot is crash cooled to 35F and kegged immediately.
