Dry hop,

[Jeff20578]

So I typically just dump my hops in the primary carboy. Is there a method to help reduce the amount of residue pulled out when racking into keg? I’ve had a keg or two that have gotten clogged. I use an auto siphon. Thx

Assuming you're not doing closed transfers...

If you're using a standard type racking cane, you could try a racking cane filter, like this one. It's available form MoreBeer and probably other places too:

If you're using an autosiphon, you'd need a wider filter, like this one, available from Long Island Homebrew, for example:

I usually put my dry hops in draw string nylon mesh bags or stainless steel mesh tubes.

The bags are easy to shove in a carboy or just toss in wide mouth fermenter and you can put marbles in them to weight them down (although I skip weighing then down). I typically grab one or two every time I go to my LHBS or add one to online orders.

If I am using one of my wide mouth fermenters I usually use a ss mesh tube - even easier than the bags.

I haven't noticed any decrease in flavor or aroma vs tossing them in loose, but now there is no worry about excess mater in the keg.

I use a knock off version of this guy, and it works really well: https://www.amazon.com/BouncerMD-inline-beer-filter-Daddy/dp/B01JWO5RLQ
