herb ball packed with hops was placed in my keg today. will have first glass thursday night with friends and family. will post if i notice any aroma. hops used whole willamette. only one herb ball was used. keg is force carbing for 24 hours then bled then set back down to 10 psi for remainder.

thinking i should of used a fine mesh bag and used all the hops. oh well.

update: did the bag thing with a spoon and used the rest of the hops.
 
When using pellets I only fill a herb ball 1/2 full. More than that and the swelling of the hops pack the ball into a solid brick and squeezes the moisture out.
