Dry Hopping

Hi all,

I want to dry hop my beer. Do I need to sterilize the bag at all for the hops?

 

Won't hurt.. I usually let it soak in sanitizer for a bit.

 

You could just not use a bag...

Either way works, but if you do use a bag sterilize it.

 

Does it matter much if you just throw the hops straight into the wort? or is the bag just to avoid any more sediment?

 

I don't think it can ever hurt to sterilize something that is going into beer after it's boiled.

 

Correct on the sediment...but if you are careful when racking it isn't necessary.

 

I never use a bag, and just throw them directly in. Works for me but, may not for everyone.
