Hello my friends,

Should I chose Hop bag or boil hops loose in kettle?

Pros and Cons?

Marius.
 
I use a hop bag (and usually use whole or plugs). I suspect I lose some utilization but it makes my brew day go a little easier without worrying about the mess. Either way works, though - you could try both and see which you prefer.
 
I stoped useing bags since I bought a larg metal mesh strainer. Works just as good as a bag and now I don't have to worrie about them anymore.
