I've been boiling them too,but this time I soaked them in a glass of star-san briefly,squeezed them out (my hands were wet with the stuff too),filled & dropped them in my IPA. This dry hop with .5oz each of Columbus, Nugget,& whole leaf Cascade.
I have to say,the folks on here that said whole leaf is better are right. It seems the whole leaf hops have better flavor/aroma definition to me,if that makes any sense. I just think hop sacks make everything cleaner. No stopped up siphons,no extra bags over tubes,added steps,etc. I'm sure they work fine,but this seems more like the most direct route to making things easier in the long run.
