Well, I am about to rack my OG1.07 IPA top secondary where I will be adding an ounce or 2 of whole cascade hops, and it just occured to me that I should worry about sanitizing them.
Wouldn't be "Dry" hopping if I boiled them, obviously.
Is the ABV high enough in there to not worry about this?
 
Just chuck 'em in as is. The hop oils keep the nasties away. Unless you have rotten hops, dry hopping won't cause an infection.
