Lost hop bag in keg (does it matter)?

[GoNova]

I suspect I should just leave the 2oz of hops in the muslin bag at the bottom of my full keg since the beer is carbed rather than try and fish it out. Right?

As long as you sanitized the bag, you'll be fine. The hop flavor will change every day it sits in the keg though.

I've done that a few times, and after a while it can get out of hand. Just drank a glass of a formerly great IPA and I really wish I'd thought of this earlier:

If you want to get it out, try fishing it out with a sanitized diptube from another keg (if you have one).

Stand back, I'm going in.......
If left in there too long (more than 7-8 days) you'll start to taste the stems and leaves. Not in a large way but still not the flavour you're after.

I dry-hop my IPAs in-a-keg routinely for taste purposes and at one point you need to fish it out or it will be too hoppy.

Or transfer to another keg.
