Hi all, I have a dry hop container that is designed to be hung in a corny/FV etc This is it and was wondering if anyone has kegged with desired hop choice, either via just dropping it into the keg or hanging it from the keg lid, I usually use pellets to dry hop but do occasionally use leaf, any input as to what results you have had will be gratefully received.
 
On the rare occasions I brew something that requires a massive dry hop, I use mine as a filter around the dip tube rather than trying to cram hops into it. I throw the hops loose into the keg, purge and rack into the keg via the dip tube. Dry hop for a couple of days, chill and then transfer the hops to another keg for carbonation. That way I get more wort in contact with the hops and don't have to try and fish the thing out.
