I'm trying out a tea strainer ball to dryhop my latest batch, a centennial pale ale. I put 1oz of hop pellets in the ball, but they're breaking up and I'm ending up with some hop particles in the pour. I like the flavor and aroma, but the particles are a little problematic. I've gathered that whole leaf hops are better than pellets for dryhopping, but what can I put them in to dryhop in the keg with them that won't clog up my dip tube? An ounce won't fit in the tea ball I have, and besides making a cheesecloth or muslin pouch to dryhop in the keg with, I can't think of anything.
