This may be someone everyone already does anyway, but in case they don't I thought I'd make a thread.
I dry hopped a keg yesterday and I tried to do it by using fishing line and putting it out the keg lid but I couldn't get a seal. The fishing line was breaking the seal. As I already had the hop bag in the keg and the fishing line hanging out I had to come up with a quick solution so I ended up getting a spare keg post seal (little black rubber band) and I tied the fishing line to that, and then I slipped it onto the underside of the pressure relief valve. basically turned the keg lid over and there's a little knob where the pressure relief valve is housed, and I put it over that like a rubber band. It's nice and solid and means I can fish out the bag when I Want, and now the keg is completely self contained as if I wasn't even dry hopping.
I'll be doing this every time now.
