I will be doing my first dry hop addition soon. Do I need to do anything to the hops before I put them in? What is the chance of contamination of the worth?
Thanks

So I've been swamped with work and family and couldn't spend time looking for ss washers and the marble idea scared me so... I just threw the hop bag in the fermenter. Pretty sure its just floating at the top. How much of a problem is this?

The alcohol will kill germs.You need a muslin grain bag and some marbles.
I boil an ounce of aroma hops for one minute in 3 pints of water, then turn off the heat and let it cool for an hour, then strain and add to fermenting wort on day 3 - works for me...
