Dry hopping and my auto-siphon armed with makeshift hop filters (aka gauze and pantyhose) don't seem to mix... I was thinking of trying hop tea instead. Those of you who have done this before - is it OK to use the french press you use for actual coffee making as well? If so, what do you use for cleaning/santitizing it? I'm worried about potential off-tastes - I like my coffee and I like my pale ales but don't want to mix the two at this point of my life.
 
I dry hop in a mesh bag with a clip it to seal the top.
A couple of tablespoons weigh it down.
 
just don't forget to take the spoons out before you tip the contents into the bin.
I've lost a few spoons that way :D
