In the past whenever I have dry hopped I put it in a hop/grain bag, but my brother was recently talking to a guy at a beer tasting who suggested getting rid of the bag... The thought behind it was that when the hops are contained in the bag they coke in contact with only a small percentage of the beer, where as if you just dump them in your secondary and rack on top of them they come in contact with all the beer as they float down to the bottom. I tried it out with my most recent batch, a double Ipa to see what kind of difference it would make in the aroma.
Any thoughts on this? Is this something that others are doing as well?
