2 parter--Dry hop and muslin bag

[Polock Joe]

1. How do you dry hop?

2. Doing a partial mash from ahs and want to know if I should use the bag or just strain out the grains. Pros and cons.

1. Pellet hops right into the carboy on top of the beer, complete drop out in a week or so.
2. I would get a big nylon bag, AHS sells them. This is what I did (did the mash in my bucket wrapped in blanket), worked well.

I use a bag, largely because I keg from the fermenter. Generally, a week. Bagging means I don't have to filter and if I need a second (or third) round of dry hopping it's easy. Pellets, plugs, or whole leaf? Depends on what's available, but whole leaf whenever possible.
