So i have keg hopped 2 batches now using a hop sock and have had great results with the hop aroma, far more that with dry hopping in the fermenter. My only issue is hop floaties and poor clarity which I put down to my hop sock having too bigger holes. I have heard of people using stocking and was wondering if this helps with the floaties/clarity? And also is there a specific type or brand people are using? Thanks in advance. Mick
 
I was actually looking at getting one of those filter things and probably will but for today I might go with a stocking. Is there a particular type or brand people like to use?
 
My method is real ghetto, i use a fresh from the pack chux soaked in starsan tied up and poke a teaspoon through the knot to make it sink. Last one was in there for 4 weeks, have not noticed any grassyness but might depend on what hop you used.
