I am ready to go to secondary and dry hop. Since the pellet hops were measured out and weighed, they were handled. Is it OK to just throw them in or should something be done first to make sure that they are sanitized? If so, what?
 
Yeah just toss them in. The hops don't usually harbor any problematic nasties and the conditions of your beer aren't conducive to infection now. Before fermentation the conditions are much more suseptive. Now you're in the clear (mostly)...
