good idea for dry hopping and oaking in keg?

[PantherCity]

Has anyone ever used a magnet with a keeper on the top of the corny lid to hang a hop bag or oak cubes? It seems like this would be nice as you would not have to alter any equipment. You could taste it daily from the tap and when you want to remove you bag you just pop the lid and pull the magnet off. Does anyone know if standard ceramic magnets are corrosion resistant enough to put in a keg?

Try the magnet on the lid first to see if it sticks, many stainless steels are only weakly magnetic. If it sticks, it's a fine idea.

You could even try a Rare Earth magnet from a hard drive if you're looking for more pull. Since the magnet won't touch the beer, the corrosiveness might be a small issue. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I know that the magnets won't stick to stainless, I was planning on using a "keeper" or another magnet on the outside. But would it corrode or make my beer taste bad. I'm just going to order some and soak it in a beer overnight.

If your lid is like most of mine, this is an easy solution:

I use a bobber hooked to a muslin bag so that the hops just stay submerged under the beer. It sinks down as I consume the keg, keeping the hop bag away from the bev tube until the end.
