adding hops to keg

[zadig39]

Just tried my first kegged brew and it could use some hops. All I have is some pelletized stuff. Any ideas?

One of the reviews says it's a good idea to buy multiple balls so they're not so tightly packed into it and it allows the hops to let out their full potential.

get a small strainer bag, (sometimes a marble keeps it from floating).
drink.

Knee high Nylon Stockings. Marbles or something stainless steel to hold them down. Teflon tape or unflavored dental floss to tie it with.

A heavy stainless steel nut or washer works perfectly to hold that stuff down.

sanitization?

All of the above mentioned need to be sanitized. Just sanitize as usual and drop in. Hops don't need to be sanitized.

sanitization?

Boil, StarSan, etc....

Definitely do not use a standard grain bag for pellets, but any of the alternatives suggested here will be fine enough.
