    You have been a lifesaver!
    Would you dip the whole bag (hops and all) in sanitizer, or put the hops into a preboiled bag?

    Should I wait for bubbling to slow before I dry hop? I boiled on Sunday. Was thinking I would dry hop after two weeks? I’m not thinking of adding much, so if you think it isn’t worth it, I may not. I hadn’t thought about putting a cold brew in at bottling time.

    No need to sanitize hops. Just sanitize the bag if your using one. I always throw the hops right in the fermenter personally

    I agree with what @chavinparty said above, but that assumes that your hops are coming right out of the bag from the supplier. If the hops have become dirty from some source like being dropped on the floor, etc. then I'd discard them and get new.
