Ok I brewed a Corona clone that turned out too weak IMHO. It has been in the keg for only about 5 days and is still at room temp . So can I just throw a fine mesh bag of leaf hops in for 5 days or so ? I did some searching and see some dont even take the bag out correct?
How do I go about this sanitize the bag and just throw in the hops?

Check out northernbrewer.com They sell some stuff that's better for adding hops to the keg. The hop steeper looks like the best bet. I don't personally like using those mesh bags for adding hops after the boil.

Check out the brew infuser on northern brewer. Its stainless mesh like a tea ball but can be slipped through the neck of a carboy or put in a keg. Personally I just sanitize a mesh bag and marbles add some hops and let it sink in the keg. I get it back out when its empty.

Mac & Jack's use Hoff-Stevens kegs that have a bung in the side and they dry hop by attaching a hop sack directly to that.

If you use a corny, I wouldn't hesitate to open it up and drop in a hop sack.

I was hopeing I could just use the bag I have and not order something . If I use the bag I have I could hop now instead of waiting a weak for that to be shipped.

Yes it's a Corney

I dry hop all APAs and IPAs in the keg all the time with knee high panty hose (thanks swmbo) and some non flavored dental floss using pellets. I double wrap it in the stockings to make sure that no pellet goo clogs up my poppets and I have had excellent results.

I used Hallertau hops in the beer will that be a good hop to use?

Any aroma hop works. Some people even use high AA hops like Zeus. You should be fine with Hallertau.

Cool thanks all.

Just wanted to point out that the brew infuser rusts after a few uses. The chain isn't stainless steel, so if it gets wet, you get rust. Otherwise, good concept.
