If I am dry hopping my ales, I just add em loose to the secondary, and leave em for a few weeks, adn all the pellets bits or plug bits eventually fall to the bottom. I recently finished reading Noonans "New brewing Lager beer" and I thikn he was saying something about making a hop extract, like yard glass said, just a few minutes in the plunger, then add the "extract" into the secondary fermentor, and rack yer beer ontop of that. Never made a lager, so I cant say if it works or not, but Noonan sounded like he knew what he was on about, so I will take his word for it.
All the best
