How much to weigh down wethop dry hop bags

[bingggo]

Hi folks,

Any enterprising soul out there noticed what kind of weight ratio you need to actually submerge mesh bags full of wethops during the dry hop phase?

They are so buoyant! I put 400g in a bag, with a triclover clamp at the bottom, and after much coaxing its only about 75% submerged.

I'm going to put suspend 8x 500g bags of fresh hops into the top of a 500 litre conical, and thinking my life would be easier if I had a better idea what weight of stainless bits I'll need to put in the bottom of the bags

Cheers,
B

weigh 2 triclover clamps on your hop scale and multiply by 8...

So almost 9 lbs of hops in 132 gallons of beer...? Maybe a bowling ball? Or do this

weigh 2 triclover clamps on your hop scale and multiply by 8...

(.... obviously joking about the bowling ball)

Use glass marbles...call the Dollar Store to see if they have any. If' not, WallyWorld.

Use a shot glass in each bag.
