Hop bag

Post by smiggins55 »

I'm going to use one of those drawstring hop bags in the boil for my next brew.My Q is in regards
to a possible infection from the bag as it won't be sanitized before use.
Could i soak the bag in a solution of Iodophor before use or would the bacteria be simply killed
in the boil?

The boil will be fine.

no need to sanitise anything before or during the boil.
