Dry hopping in the FV vs Corny keg

[NickW]

I'm at a crossroads whereby I'll be kegging a first gold session ale in a week or two.

I plan on dry hopping. But should I do this in the FV or in the corny? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

If going down the corny route, what is the best approach? Muslin or in on their own?

I dry hop in the corny all the time. I use a muslin bag and I just throw it right in. I do soak the bag in starsan solution prior to pitching though. It works great for me.

Do you leave it in there until the beer is gone?
I've done that by accident before and did not notice any off flavours - even after several months!

I tend to dry hop in the secondary now - a week or two and then into the corny.

Yep. I leave them in until the keg is empty. I've had one in there for 5 months as the keg was on in use and never got any off flavours from it.
