So I brewed a Black IPA a while back for the Northern California Homebrewers Fesitval. I dry hopped it in the keg using Cheescloth as a Hopsack(never again will I do this) Anyhow, while driving to the festival the Cheesecloth worked it's way open and now there are a ton of hops loose in the keg. I've unclogged it numerous times but everytime I get the keg back together it clogs immediately. I've also put a paint strainer over the diptube as a filter with no luck. My thought now is either dump it, or de-carb it, pour it through a paint strainer into one of my fermenters(everything sanitized of course), dose the keg with some fresh hops in a paint strainer this time, then rack the beer back into the keg.
My main concern is that I have messed with the beer so much to this point that I may have ruined it. I've never had this issue before so if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
