I am fermenting my first apa currently and am considering dry hopping in the keg. Should I use the keg essentially as a secondary (basement temp and I manually release gas daily) or should I throw the keg in my fridge while dry hopping?
I also when suspending the mesh bags place the bag in the top of the keg ie top 1/3 space, so as pints are removed the hops will be off the beer after a week in my house.

I put 2-4oz of whole hops in a hops bag tied to the end of a 2' ss spoon. Otherwise, i found no amount of weight would hold the bag to the bottom of the keg.
