Weights for hop bag

[Pennine]

3 or 4 to a bag depending on how much hops.

Funny just bought a sack of 10 20mm ones one Amazon for £5. one of them drops my hobs canister like a lead weight. Thanks for the SS idea.

I use a bag. Just have to rummage about after brewing as they do get lost in the hops!

Use SS spoons !!! so much cheaper from the cutlery drawer

I forgot until recently, I bought a stainless steel giant tea infuser which I have used a couple of times but couldn't get it to sink. Benefit of that is you can reuse it and it can be boiled or oven cooked to sanitise.

I'm gonna try some dry hopping again, I plan on making a sorachi ace saison and will dry hop with some pellets.

Ok I just weighed my spoons and my balls (while brewing a red ipa)! Each teaspoon is 25g one ball is 65g. I used 2 balls and it dropped my giant tea infuser similar to jceg's like a lead weight, I would imagine one ball would easily be enough for 50-100g of dry hop. I would need 5 teaspoons to equal the weight of 2 balls, that makes for more cleaning and sanitizing and more missing teaspoons for a week. Either would definitely work but I'm ok with dropping £5 for a little less cleaning.

Use Dessert Spoons much heavier
