So I have started putting my hops in a muslin bag to make the straining process at the end of the boil easier. My last brew day I think left a bag in when I poured the wort into my primary fermenter.
It's probably a RDWHAHB scenario, but is there any chance for infection? The bag was in the boil so I assume it's as sanitary as the wort and I'm thinking all it'll do is a little dry hopping but I'm a bit worried.
Also on a side note, should I worry about hop utilization when using the bags? My last pale ale wasn't as hoppy as I like and I wonder if that is the culprit.
