Talk:Hop drop improvement/@comment-45291320-20200402211743

EEK! I did something similar- I purchased what I believed to be chrome steel balls- and they tarnished really badly in the boil- I bet I swallowed chromium. Good quality- -is it A4 stainless marine steel may be best. I do like the new recommended way of wrapping the tie string around the hop bag - going sideways- it seems to be better. I have tried nylon type bags and smaller bags, but they all dry out during the boil stage. I wondered about attaching the drop disk by a cord to the hop bag to give it some momentum. There is nothing like standing guard over the drops! Alan
