I'm thinking of dry hopping for the first time, but I'm wondering if I should bother. The only hops I have on hand are pellet hops. I was thinking of wrapping them up in a cheescloth sack with a couple of marbles and dropping them in the secondary fermenter. However, from what I've been reading, it seems like you should always use whole hops when dry hopping. Is it worth bothering with pellet hops, or should I just skip this step?
Also, I'm curious about sanitation when dry hopping - it seems strange that I've been obsessing about sanitation at every step of the brewing process, and yet I'm planning on taking hops directly from my refrigerator and dropping them into my beer. I am missing something here?
Thanks!
