Dry Hopping Technique ?

[ColmR]

Pellets will drop nicely. I don't think you'll need to syphon more than once. I happily dry hop with pellets with no bag. But if you're looking at bags, thc had some decent ones in recently. I got a massive 60cm x 60cm bag and the price was pretty good.

Thanks Colm i dont think i will bother with the bag the next time for the pellets anyway. I reckon i might still need it for the hops though unless i can think of something else in the meantime :

Go into Guineys or a haberdasher and buy yourself a piece of swiss voile curtain material, it's cheap enough. Cut yourself a piece and away you go.

Tights will do fine in the meantime.

Not that I have got around to dry hopping yet, but I was thinking of using something like this

to contain the hop pellets.

to contain the hop pellets.

I've seen some of the Brits using tea balls alright, it's very elaborate when you consider that a piece of curtain material will do the same job.

True, but it's shiny!

I actually have a tea ball Must see how much hops it will hold :
