Even though I have a submersion chiller, I've been doing more brews with no-chill lately.
It's just so much less dicking about.
And so this has led me to start looking at gizmos I can use for dry hopping, or cube hopping.
Hop socks are what I have on hand, but they can get caught up in taps and so on. Plus I'm a bit gadget-mad and I'm always looking for nifty little things to make life easier and to satisfy my shiny object needs.
I found these, which look pretty cool:

$10ea
And also these:

$5ea
Only downside I see is they are not very big. Hop pellets tend to expand so put 30g or so into one of these and they'll be bursting at the seams I expect.
For the price I could always buy several.
What do others use? Does anyone have larger tea balls or similar?
EDIT: Also these on ebay, several sizes available. Not as pretty, but hey, for $2 delivered...
